What Causes Severe Arthritis With Swelling?
Yes I m inquiring for my sister age 71, she has swelling in all her body, she has severe arthritis in neck. High blood pressure also. She has removed all meds because of side effects but feels no better. Dr. Gave her more water pills but she feels no better. We would like her to go into Boston hospital for a further work up but what specialized dr would you refer to. Thanks
