See a rheumatologist: Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious, life-long disease that can result in permanent joint damage and severe disability.You should seek the care of a board certified rheumatologist who knows how to use meds safely & effectively to control ra.Most likely will need to take low dose weekly Methotrexate injections (or pills)and a tnf inhibitor such as enbrel, humira, or Remicade (infliximab) to completely control it.
