RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

2017-12-25 08:38:45
My grandma aged 65 is suffering from severe knee pain since the past 4 to 5 years. Consultation with several doctors revealed that she is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The pain has increased in the last couple of years. Till now she has been under allopathy treatment but now wishes to shift to ayurveda. The pain and swelling are more pronounced in the left leg as compared to its right counterpart. The swelling is also accompanied by reddening of the ankle and knees. Please reply.

I guess at that age and pain in knee joints is more indicative of Osteoarthritis and not RA. Kindly consult any orthopaedic surgeon and get an xray done to see the condition of joint and then take medications accordingly.
