Hi Practo User,
With the details you provided she is suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.
She will need to be examined to know the extent of damage to her joints.
Broadly there are two modalities in her treatment:
1.Medical management
2.Surgical management.
Next Steps
Meet both Rheumatologist and Orthopedician.
