Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.
Yes you can go to ER.
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints.

Taking only painkiller will not solve the problem.

Also you can take dose of methotrexate.
I will advise dose 7.5mg weekly.
You can start combination consulting your treating doctor.

There is good role of diet in controlling RA.

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
