Suggest Treatment For Arthritis, High BP & Joint Pain
Hi, I am inquiring about my sister, she is 74 years old. She has arthritis, and is under a few medications. Lately, she has had high blood pressure, which has been hard to control. A few days ago, she started having swollen feet and ankles, with a lot of pain. I am going to her doctor with her on Tuesday, and I would like to know what kinds of questions we should ask. I would appreciate your input. Thanks, Sandy
