Ask Rheumatologist: It is very unusual for rheumatoid arthritis symptoms not to be helped by 20mg prednisone daily. You need to talk to your Rheumatologist about this, and if you are not seeing one, you need to.

See rheumatologist: There are other kinds of arthritis which mimic RA and this requires the expertise of a rheumatologist.
