Hello Practo User,
A proper diagnosis has to be made before starting any medicines.
People have a tendency to start alternative medicine because modern medicine does not give relief or being afraid of Allopathy.
This perception is not correct... every medicine has a effect and a side effect.
So it is dangerous to keep taking medication without knowing what the problem is.
Next Steps
Consult a Rheumatologist and a MD PHYSICIAN ,get him examined and take further advice.
Regards.
