Suggest Treatment For Pain In Elbows, Shoulders And Back

Dear Doctor,

I am 45 female. I have pain in my elbows, shoulders, knees & low back pain. The pain is for the past 10 to 12 years. I already visited 2 doctors &have been on medication for the past 2 years. The medicine prescribed was Nicosia 60 mg, pan 40, saaz 500, shelcal, methotrexate 2.5 mg, foliate 5mg. Initially I felt a little better but again the pain returned. The second doctor is now giving me only shelcal, foliate & saaz. I am feeling quite better but the joint pain is still there which sometime is unbearable. My weight is 95kg. Height is 169 cm. Please advise ...thankyou
