Respected lybrate-user madam. Please consult a psychiatrist and take some counselling, body-mind relaxation, how to over come fear from diseases ,etc. Techniques, I should suggest only hot water fermentation and free ex's for being a physiotherapist. She needs hope about your diseases. Ra is not a unbearable one .please increase confidence levels. Best of luck.

As rheumatoid arthritis causes deformity on finger joints so increase in pain is due to it, and I recommended to make you mother walk with the help of assistant device like walker, as much as she walks its better for her join otherwise it may cause deformity in joint. And I recommend wax therapy for deformity on fingers. For further details on physiotherapy, contact me anytime.

Hi as you know the diagnosis, you need to be seen by rheumatologist. As the medications needs regular reviews because of steroids. Better to keep regular follow ups. Rheumatoid arthritis is life time problem, unfortunately it needs patience and regular checkups. Vitamin d and calcium supplements need to take along with your medications.

Hope your plasma treatment is helping. Other two medications you r taking is mainly pain killers. You can gradually stop those and see how effective is plasma treatment. As itâs new modality, itâs still under trails. No significant good results to everyone.
If it doesnât work, probably needs knee replacement surgery. Best wishes.
