Hi Dr. Naval,

My name is XXXXXXX I am 51 years old and have lived with Lupus and Fibromyalgia for almost 11 years now.

Hi,

I have read your query.

For cure of your pain and swelling you need to add cap. rabiprazole empty stomach, cap. indomethacin25mgs thrice a day.

But to make exact diagnosis of your swelling get serum RA factor, serum uric acid, ESR, CRP fasting blood sugar and send me the report.

Till then take medication advised above.

I hope it helps.
