My mother feels pain on palm and on fingers, but the pain does not travel on hand. The pain only feels after waking up at morning but it stays for 1 to 2 hours. The pain is suffering since 2 months and I am really worried now. For further reference I want to say you that my mother is also a thyroid patent and is taking Thyronorm 25 as a medicine. My mother is 46 years of age and her diet is simple Indian diet (Both Veg and Non-Veg). Please guide me so that I can cure my mother so that she does not feel pain. Hoping for your immediate and kind response.

Hi Mr. lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help for your mother. Her symptoms may be due to arthritis. I would advise that you consult a rheumatologist in person who can clinically examine, and recommend treatment as would deem appropriate in her case. Simultaneously, she should keep her diet and lifestyle streamlined, de-stress/ exercise daily and stay relaxed. She may take help from a physiotherapist who can train her exercises to keep the joints flexible and ways to do her daily tasks that easier on her joints. She should protect herself from cold, and wear warm clothing as diseases like arthritis/ rheumatoid arthritis worsen with cold. A luke warm shower is preferable in this case, and frequent exposure to cold water is best avoided. Hope this helps. Do take care and all the very best. Sincerely
