Suggest Treatment For Degenerative Joint Disease
Hello, My sister has degenerative joint disease. She is in a lot of pain. She has taken some medications but had side effects. She is taking several medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, and has asthma and COPD medications, too. What kind of pain relief can she take without having any side effects?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Too many oral painkillers can hurt her stomach and kidneys. Better to provide calcium supplements, topical ointments, oils, and physiotherapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anusuya Ramesh
