Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, does she have such complain?
Taking only painkiller will not solve the problem.
I can help you better if you post x ray reports to me.
Also you can take dose of methotrexate.
I will advise dose 7.5mg weekly.
You can start combination consulting your treating doctor.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can ask further query directly on my profile http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-vaibhav-gandhi/63503
Wishing you good health.
Take care
