Hello Lipsa,
If you are regularly taking these medicines and even then your pain is not under control then I would recommend you to get a rheumatologists opinion. You might need following.
1. Immunomodulators can be tried in your case.
2. steroid can be given for short time.
3. Synovectomy like procedures can be done. These are surgeries which provide pain relief for short time.
4. Hot water fomentation is also useful.
So You should opt for these steps after discussing with you doctor. And Do not stop medicines in between.
