I think I have arthritis pain. I guess my doc is the one to diagnose me, I have aches in different parts of my body, My arms, my hands & wrists and sometimes thighs. I m 68 years old. Is this typical? My lower back just reminded me to not forget about it. Can arthritis be cured? or treated?
Hello, Frankly speaking, arthritis cannot be cured as it is due to age-related changes. However, symptoms can be reduced to a larger extent. Get your serum it d, vit b12, calcium level checked. Get a DEXA scan done to know the quantity of bone. Do regular exercises, take physiotherapy sessions, take external supports for knees and back in the form of belts and knee cap. Use over the counter painkillers as needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
