From the question and details it appears thaf you have stopped or increased the dosage of medicines on your own.If you did not and it was your doctor's advice then continue with it.If you are not adviced to change the dosage ,i suggest stick to what your doctor has adviced you.voveron is adviced for pain in RA mostly and i suggest you to take the dosage as per your doctor's advice as its one of the side effects is it interferes with kidney function.I would suggest you not to increase the dose without consulting your doctor once.and do keep exercising sometimes or visit a physiotherapist to learn about exercises.It helps in management of RA usually,
