General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I suggest you yo take Tab. Prednisone and give hot bag compression over the joints and try to attend physiotherapy. If still the symptoms persist then consult your Rheumatologist.

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