Brief Answer:
Probably Rheumatoid arthritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

From your description of joint pains, it is a possibility that she is suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

However, to be sure she needs to see a rheumatologist, because these pains are generally associated with swellings and stiffness esp. after rest.

A good doctor in Gurgaon is Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX at Fortis Gurgaon.

Therefore, if this suspicion is confirmed, she needs to be on proper medication called disease-modifying drugs.
