What Are The Medications For Reducing The Inflammation In Bones?
Hi, I have recently had a whole of body bone scan & several of my joints were shown to have inflammation in them, knees & shoulders (arm joints) were the worst. Can you advise on what would be the most effective way to help reduce this painful inflammatory condition. I am male & 64 years old. In anticipation Thank you Phillip :)
