Dear Gazza, thank you for your posting.
Inflammatory arthritis is an umbrella term to cover a range of arthritis types. For example rheumatoid arthritis is known as an inflammatory type of arthritis. However generally most are treated using the same medications often given by a rheumatologist specialist and one of the most commonly prescribed medications to control the condition is Methotrexate. The following link takes you to our booklets available, you may find the ‘Understanding arthritis’ booklet useful:
