Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your history and symptoms there is possibility of inflammatory arthritis.
You may need to do blood test to confirm diagnosis.
When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like ANA, RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27, thyroid profile.

Medication like methylcobalamine with neurotropic [like pregabalin] and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
