M y mother 78 years and family went on a trip to a hill station (ooty,india) where it was extremely cold. My mother there itself started feeling very cold and had to be covered by two blankets. On our return back home (bombay) she was still shivering inspite of being in a hot climate.The next day she was vomiting and also had on and off fever. We took her to our family doctor and on doctor advised got her urine examined. The doctor said she has got a urine infection and treated her with antibiotics and ask us further to do a urine culture test. In the meantime before getting our report on the urine culture she developed pain on one leg especially from the thigh to the calves and there is more pain below the knee. She get walk at all on her own. She has to take support while walking. Whenever she has to get up from a sitting position from a sofa, she gets severe pain on both the legs.The after a day she started getting pain the both the legs. Both the knees are swollen more on left leg. We took her a to an orthopedics he confirmed that she has got arthritis and started on DELTA GM and some vitamins. It has been two days since she taking these medicines, but she has no relief. On receiving the Urine culture test my family doctor has started on course of medicines and ask to do her blood test for malaria. The report is yet to come.
