Hello! Rheumatoid arthritis can cause severe joint stiffness and difficulty with daily activities, but proper treatment can help improve symptoms and mobility. Taking high doses of Indomethacin for a long time may increase the risk of stomach, kidney, or heart-related side effects. Since your joints still feel stiff despite medication, your treatment plan may need adjustment. Modern rheumatoid arthritis treatments can help control inflammation and prevent joint damage, not just reduce pain. Please consult a rheumatologist for proper evaluation, safer long-term treatment, and guidance on exercises or physiotherapy to improve joint movement and comfort.
