Constant Body Ache, Swelling In Joints. Overweight, On Painkillers, Have Hodgekins Lymphoma. History Of Hurting The Back. Help

my daughter is 39, is overweight, and hurt her back 6 months ago. Since then her back has come right but she has been left with a body that continually aches, her joints swell up, she is on a multitude of different pain killers and nothing seems to help her. She had hodgekins lymphoma when she was 19 and wonder whether this could be contributing to her health issues now. I want to get her off all the drugs and find out what is wrong with her as no one seems to be able to help. They think its in her mind and I know that she is in severe pain all the time.

Hi..
What was the treatment given for that at that time..
Any surgery done..
In lymphomas there is generalised reduction in immunity which makes the person vulnerable for infections and the body pains can also be related to that..
Get a complete evaluation done by a hematologist to rule of any recurrence and residual swelling.
Depending on the cause treatment can be given.
Hope this information helps..Take care...
