Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.
Heat therapy
heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.

Seems presently you have a cute excarebation of ra. You might need a short course of nsaids but keep on continuing the medicines you are taking. Better to consult an orthopaedicians who will see your knee. And decide whether nsaids will suffice or you need to increase the dosage of dmards you are taking.

I would like to see all the medicines you are taking. Usually, your doctor would have prescribed more than one drug for ra. Crp, ra factor and serum complement levels are a good resource to monitor response to therapy. Continue seeing your rheumatologist till the pain settles completely and your blood reports are normal.
