NSAID'S
Is there anyone else out there who is unable to take antiinflammatories so left with having to increase pain killers?
What can medics give to help us?
Now about to complete 3 months start on Methotrexate and Folic Acid. Still inflamed.

I don't understand that you're only just starting on methotrexate. If you have an inflammatory form of arthritis you should have been on a DMARD anyway. NSAIDS won't hold it back.
Many (Sometimes I think 'most') of us can't take NSAIDS. There are plenty of straight pain relieving meds without going down the anti-inflammatory route. Ask your GP.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
