Namaste doctor,
my mother has been facing knee arthritis issues for 3,4 years. 10 days back, she heard a clear cracking sound which came below the left knee and since, then, she has been in immense pain, unable to walk properly. We consulted an orthopedic doctor last week and got prescribed below medicines.
Rejuprix CD3 - OD - 60 days,
Duraglide max - BD - 60 days,
Vitamin D3 60k - weekly,
Altraday - OD - 15 days and one pain ointment.
She took those medicines for 10 days but since, she didn't feel improvement and yesterday Doctor gave inj. Kenacort 1ml on the left knee only for the first time. Also, we have been also noticing that she has gotten a slightly puffed face, swelled legs since the last couple of weeks and is feeling very weak and tired. So, we did a few blood tests of our own (
uric acid, RF,
tsh,
creatinine, cbc and
CRP) where crp is elevated and others are normal. I have also attached x-ray images which the doctor had suggested. Please check and advise us. Thank you.
