Should T Saaz Be Continued For Swelling In Ankles And Knee Joints?

hi...I had high grade fever for On 8,9 May followed by heavy rash on all body on 13,14 and15 may. Swelling in my ankles throughout and on 21st my knee joints have been paining. Investigations revealed insufficient Vit D and raised ESR. Calcium and tests for RA are negative. Dr has prescribed T Saaz twice daily after food for 2 weeks.My question is that I have been surfing the net and everywhere it is written that T Saaz is given for RA. Is it okay for me to continue with the medicine as I don t hv RA. According to the dr it was some viral with joint pains and the pains are aggravated coz of low levels of Vit D. Please advise!

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like ACCP , HLA B27.

Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, do you have such complain?
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine?

It may be seronegative spondylo arthropathy with RA test negative.
NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are sometimes prescribed in more severe cases. These include methotrexate and sulfasalazine.Corticosteroid injections for severe pain and inflammation in a specific joint.TNF-a inhibitors, a newer class of biologic medication.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
