Is There A Remedy For Arthritis All Over Body Which Is Creating Great Difficulty In Mobility?
Hello, I'm a 54 year woman, who has back problems, breathing problems and bone problems.. (just falling to pieces).
My question is what can I do for this arthritis, it is all over my body. Mainly my legs, when I sit, its hard to get up and going. When walking I walk like a 90 year old person. But I hurt all the time. What can I do to become more mobile.??? And also does Hot bathes hurt or help this problem. When I wake up I run hot water over my hands to "THAW" out. and cold water to cool down the swelling.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The severe pain all over the body could be related to polyarthritis. This needs a battery of tests to find out the diagnosis. The only solution to this is get proper treatment under a trained rheumatologist, otherwise your condition will only worsen as will your quality of life.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
