Severe knee pain
Hello doctor, I am 37, female. I am suffering from severe knee and hand thumb bone pain since last 7 weeks. I was prescribed steroid, 5 days course and subsequently pain killers along with some supplement. But as soon as I stop taking pain killers the pain will resume with the same intensity. Its most painful during night and in the morning. I can't even walk a single step. Is there any cure? Also, the thumb bone in my right hand is such that I can't tear a packet or chapati. Please suggest something. I am on painkillers since last 7 weeks and I know its harmful.
P. S. X- ray report came normal. RA factor, thyroid, uric acid within range. Hba1C 6.5
