<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have been experiencing joint pain and stiffness for some time now. My doctor suspects it might be rheumatoid arthritis.  <response>: In that case, youll need a combination of medications to manage your symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. Well start with Prednisone to bring down inflammation, Methotrexate to slow down joint damage, Folic Acid to help with any side effects, Hydroxychloroquine Plaquenil to reduce joint swelling, and Celecoxib Celebrex for pain relief. Depending on how these medications work, we may consider adding other drugs like Infliximab Remicade, Leflunomide Arava, Adalimumab Humira, or Sulfasalazine. And to prevent bone loss, we may also prescribe Alendronate or Ibandronate Boniva.
