Hi,
Arthritis means pain in joints and not the bones or muscles, so if you are having pain in your legs it means there is some other etiology for this pain apart from arthritis which is limited to joints, though referred pain can be felt in joints too.
Secondly, medication for arthritis should be continued for at least 2 months before switching on to the second option, as your treatment had been started only a month back you need to remain calm and wait for improvements if their is going to be any. Arthritis medicines ranges from simple Nsaids to biological Dmards. Treatment strategy is to change from one to the other based on the effect harm ratio. In the meantime, get yourself tested for vitamin D and calcium as well.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
