RA severe pain, what helps?

I find that naproxen works better for my RA so you might try it and see how it compares to the ibuprofen for you. Rx strength naproxen is double the OTC dose and is twice a day, with food. Tylenol has no anti inflammatory effect but I find it helps with the dull achy pain rather than the joint pain.
Since everyone responds differently to the RA meds, it can take awhile to find the right one for you. I hope that happens quickly!

I will definitely try naproxen. At this point i would try anything, Mornings are torture! It has been since early December I have had such a challenging time. I attributed the issues to having got covid. I have been over covid for 3 weeks but no let up in the pain category. Thank you for the suggestion. I have never tried the OTC s with naproxen but i will now!
