Hi Doctor, My sister got diagnosed with RA 2 weeks back. RA factor is 34. She has extreme pain in her knee and morning stiffness. Shes been prescribed hqtor, saaz and chelcal. But her pain and stiffness got so much that doc also prescribed her Medrol 16mg for 4 days. However, all other medications he said would go for 3 months. Do we need to change medication or do the medicines i mentioned above take 3 months? Also, can we go for ayurveda while on these medicines?
