My mother has been suffering from stiff joint pain for last few years. Though medication is going on but there is no actual relief. At present her age is 55+. Some years back she was having same problem. With treatment she was well at that time. But now she can not move her hands properly. Walking is also difficult for her. Please help me. She lives in kolkata.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. Stiffness of joints is actually a manifestation which is commonly seen in inflammatory joint disease. As you say that she had similar symptoms few years back as well, I would actually like to see what was she diagnosed with at that time? also I would like to see her investigations especially cbc, esr, crp, serum vitamin d & b12 levels, serum electrolytes and thyroid profile. This should give us an insight as to how we should proceed in her case. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
