Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Upper Arms, Thighs And Wrists
I am experiencing severe pains in my upper arms and thighs and wrists. Seems to worse in the morning and have difficulty getting out of bed. This has been happening for about six weeks and is getting worse and am feeling very depressed as it seems to have come on all of a sudden. I have recently been diagnosed with ostio arthritis in my spine. I am a 57 year old female non smoker. I used to be fairly active but can t seem to be able to do anything now, even fastening my shoelaces is difficult.

Hi,
As with strains in other joints, you can use anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce swelling. Also, apply these three at-home treatments: Rest: Take a break from the activity that's causing pain or soreness. Ice: Apply ice packs to the affected area to reduce pain and minimize swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
