Pain in bones

Asked for Female, 61 years

Dear Patient,

I'm so sorry to hear that. Rheumatoid arthritis is an extremely painful condition. The inflammation needs to settle down for the pain and stiffness to settle. Medicines only improve the condition a little. The stiffness is part of the disease. You can just apply ice packs to her joints twice a day and discuss the benefits of physiotherapy with your doctor. This can help relieve pain.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Rheumatologists in Multan and seek in-person advice.
