Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us

Seems you are suffering from multiple joint pain - Polyarthritis with early morning stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common causes for Polyarthritis.

I would suggest you to get yourself examined by an Orthopaedician for multiple joint pains and also get opinion from your Gynaecologist about your total hysterectomy. You would be asked to undergo few blood tests like Hb, RBS, TLC, DLC, ESR, RA factor, CRP and Thyroid profile along with routine urine examination. These investigations will help us find out the exact cause. Discuss with your doctor.

You can take Vit.D and calcium supplements. Pain killers like Indomethacin 25mg can be taken to reduce stiffness and pain. Routine physical activity is always advised as this will prevent stiffness from aggravating.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
