Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your symptoms, there is possibility of pain due to bad posture as your whole body is involved, analgesic and muscle relaxant will reduce pain. If not relieved, then possibility of polyarthritis needs to be considered.

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?

When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi
