Honestly, yes. Mild pain is kind of okay. Swollen joints and stiffness are not, these indicate uncontrolled disease activity.

Hello Ruskytron, I don't know your history, so can't really advise you. I am in remission so don't have constant pain. This might also be because I follow an exercise and stretching routine quite. Do you do any stretching and light exercise? I might alleviate the stiffness. All the best.
