It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort. Over-the-counter options for managing pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) include:

- **Tylenol (acetaminophen)**: Often used for mild to moderate RA pain.
- **Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)**: Such as aspirin, Advil (ibuprofen), and Aleve (naproxen), which may help reduce inflammation and pain.

Topical medications like creams, gels, or patches applied to the skin might also provide relief. Some contain NSAIDs or natural active ingredients like capsaicin. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure these are appropriate for your specific condition and to discuss any potential interactions with other medications you may be taking.
