Rheumatologist Questions joint pain

I have pain in my joints due to inflammation. What should I do?

My joints seem to be really inflamed, and it's causing me a lot of pain. I have an appointment later to see what's wrong, but is there anything to relieve the pain temporarily?

In the short term
If there is no problem with kidney or liver disease, then a reasonable course of Naproxen 400 to 800 mg per day with food may be very helpful.
