Do you have a good up-to-date rheumatologist? I have a riding buddy with really bad RA who's an absolute animal, or at least tries to be. She's had both her ankles replaced so she can keep riding. It really helps her. She also gets some very fancy treatments, kind of like chemo for it, I think methotrexate plus a biologic:
