Knee pain and stiff fingers and wrist.

Please consult an rheumatologist near you , or if not possible consult a Rheumatologist online , Rheumatologist are doctors who treat arthritis . thankyou

The reason for your knee to start hurting is due to the degenerative changes and also due to the hormonal changes which accelerate the process of degeneration. Stiffness of hands and wrist can be accounted for the hormonal changes as well as there is a chance of RA, in which there is specifically early morning stiffness of the joints and as the day progresses, the stiffness is relieved. To diagnose it, you need to get some blood tests done. Following the blood test and correct diagnosis , the appropriate treatment can be started that will be beneficial to your pain and relief you from the same. Taking cartilage tabs generally is not harmful for the body but if that is not the primary cause for the pain, and if they are not needed by the body(if they are not deficient), they just get excreted without being used in the body. Its always better to get the tests done and reach an appropriate diagnosis and start the treatment as early as possible and prevent the further damage to the joints and bones.
