Rheumatoid arthritis as such doesn’t have permanent cure. Taking age into consideration u may be having secondary osteoarthritis OA which is usual wear and tear of joint. OA occurs little early in Rheumatoid arthritis patient. For Rheumatoid arthritis u can consult rheumatologist. For osteoarthritis physiotherapy and life style changes help initially. Later stages u can go for joint injections. Surgery like knee replacement TKR is last option
