1.Your status of arthritis profile should be known by serum tests
2. Diagnosis of specific disease can institute specific disease modifying anti-rheumatic medicines
3.you seem to have received medication far too long without correct or specific diagnosis and can be harmful
4. Complete blood count, Liver function, kidney function tests are essential to know systemic side effects of prolonged anti-inflammatory/anlgesics
% consultation with a rheumatologist/orthopedist is called for for evaluation who might undertake or order specific tests, Radiographic assessment

Hello, so much of opiods for such a long period are not good. Aren't you on DMARD - drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, because they will help reduce the inflammation and help to reduce your symptom, disability and analgesic dose too. Thank you
