Now I am left with swollen hand joints, knee joints and back pain. I recently heard about a warm milk concoction that could help this. what do you recommend?  <response>: Hello, Milk Dairy products might help in building your bone strength. But just depending on Milk might not be a remedy for your problems. Osteoarthritis might not involve Polyarthralgia multiple Joints Inflammation, so its better to get a proper diagnosis. You should go for Investigations to rule out RA, Gout, and Osteoporosis. Its better to visit a Rheumatologist for proper Diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
