Brief Answer:
? Rheumatism

Detailed Answer:
Good evening

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, yes you need to discontinue it. Considering your age and the pain killers you are taking( Nimulid+ Paracetemol), it is going to have a bad impact on your kidneys and you dont want to land up with the kidneys affected due to overuse( Most common cause in India)

When you say Rheumatism, could you explain in detail the sort of symptoms you were experiencing for someone to diagnose you that? If you do have some form of arthritis, you are not doing yourself any good by taking only pain killers and not the drugs to control the disease. And if you dont have arthritis, this medicine will do more harm than good

Do let me know your location as well, so I can guide you to see a Rheumatologist and get your treatment streamlined

Await your reply

Brief Answer:
Rheumatoid Arthritis

Detailed Answer:
Good evening

Sorry for the delayed reply. Well if you are on continuous pain killers you need to check your liver and kidney function test regularly along with Haemoglobin monitoring. You can do them by routine blood examination.

As for the management of Rheumatoid Arthritis, we normally dont recommend Homeopathy. But if you are feeling well, it is a good thing. But yes, lose the painkiller before they harm your body. The whole point of management of Rheumatoid Arthritis is, to control the disease and minimize the use of pain killers

Hope the information was useful
