How long does a flare last

MarcusC

I have been diagnosed with RA for about 2 years. Everything has been controlled with methotrexate. Flare started after busy summer working on the land. Dosage increased to 25mg plus 10mg prednisolone .
Minor improvement after 3 weeks but pain in wrist and feet still high
Any ideas as to how long this may last?
