Question 1

Accepted Answer

See details: Your question suggests the inflammation is not well controlled. Since you take no meds for this disorder, you can expect progressive pain and loss of motion. See a rheumatologist and start meds that can prevent disease progression before it is too late. Finally, stop smoking. This makes things worse.
