Sir,
The data you have given is totally insufficient. I mean, we need a working diagnosis to treat.
Based on your in put, i think you are being treated for Rheumatoid arthritis. But at this age, getting such condition should make us think about our approach to the patient rather than the disease
Next Steps
Please get your Polyarthritis profile done.
Health Tips
Do not continue Methotrexate if the disease is not showing remission after 6 months
