Knee & wrist pain
My wife has recurring pain in wrist and knee around joint area in both side of body but not at the same time. It keeps on switching sides which is the reason i don't think it is arthritis.
Sometime in childhood she was told by a doctor that she may have calcium deficiency. Can this pain be because of this? What kind of doctor should I consult, GP or physiotherapist or orthopedic?

Hello there,,
Joint pain are caused by a variety of reasons....sometimes even obesity or high uric acid levels cause intermittent joint pain.
Your wife needs some basic blood tests to be done along with dietary changes as her BMI is 30.
