Hi VSood,
I think that you should contact your rheumatology team or doctor to check this out.

Hi VSood,
We are not medically trained on the helpline and would need more information on your medication and conditions to be able to offer suggestions. I do not know which country you are in and so it may be different where you are. In the UK it would be your rheumatology consultant or your GP that you would contact. Unfortunately, this forum can not be used to give medical advice and so I think that you may need to seek advice from one of your doctors.
