Rheumatoid arthritis related pain killer
My mother is suffering from intense Rheumatoid arthritis, plus spondylitis since many years. Have shown many doctors but no relief. Finally she has been only taking Zerodol 100mg pain killer since 6 last year on recommendation by CMC Vellore doctor. Of late due to intense ,unbearable pain and being unable to even lift her hands and feet in the evening after work, she has been taking Zerodol 100mg pain killer daily. . Is it dangerous taking this pain killer daily ?

Zerodol is not recommended for long years of use.
Consult rheumatologist/ orthopedist to revise the treatment.
