I have suffered with Ra since I was a boy and was never properly diagnosed until in my fifty's I took all kinds of inflammatory to deal with the pain and swelling and even had to have an elbow joint replaced. by which time I was properly diagnosed. At that time I was as started on a dose of methotrexate which is a disease modifying drug which by and large brought it under control I still take small s of steroidal anti inflammatory as well. Methotrexate is however referred to as the gold standard in rheumatoid Arthritis control
