Hello. Rheumatoid arthritis is a debilitating disease which needs life-long therapy and exercises. There are comparatively cheap medications available for RA like - Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine or Hcqs. Please contact your local rheumatologist, who will assess your condition, do few necessary investigations and prescribe the medicines which you need in adequate doses. Hope this helps.

Hello. Methotrexate is the first line drug for treatment for management of Rheumatoid arthritis. If it is not working, it's dose can be slowly increased upto 25 mg per week. Alternatively other medicines like Lefnulomide, Hcqs or Sulfasalazine can be added. Few basic labs like ESTLR, CRP are also needed to assess her present disease status. Contact a Rheumatologist as early as possible, as RA can be a potentially debilitating disease.
