If the pain meds arent working then they may not be strong enough for you anymore or your dose may need to be increased. When you have been taking a certain Pain med for a long period of time, your body builds up a tolerance to it. You may need to call your rheumy and ask if you can take more of your PM or he can try another one on you. The scalp/body soreness/tenderness I usually just have to wait out. You may have over done it or the weather change is causing a mini flare up. Hope you feel better soon. You may even want to make an appointment with a pain management specialist so you have something you can take or call when you have this pain. There are many different things they can give you to help.
Hugs
