What is the treatment for swelling of joints?
Patient: Hi Doctor, I m from Pakistan, My mother is suffering from high & low blood pressure, body ach and frequent swallowing on joints and other musculler parts of body. We are visisting doctors for last 8 years but no medicine is effecting andhelping to overcome her diseases, we are in a great worry that how to overcome the situation as her cholestrol level tests show that she is fine. Can you help me out to get her out of trouble? Regards, Adnan Doctor: Hi normally blood pressure does not cause any swelling in the joints and muscles. In my opinion your mother could be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or deficiency of vitamin D. I suggest start with Vit D3 60 K once a week for 6-8 weeks along with calcium and if there is no improvement then go for R A Factor and Anti CCP antibody blood tests.
