Dear Patient, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, your symptoms look like arthritis, so to move in that direction we need confirmation with help of investigations, and that will include blood as well as x rays, for this you must see your doctor, and take medication and tests as advised, i must tell you that role of healthy diet, regular exercise and active lifestyle is more important that drugs as far as osteoarthritis is concerned. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Dr Narender Saini Thanks.
