How Can Pain In The Knees And Hip Joint Be Treated?

I fell and hurt my knee,sacroiliac late Dec. 2016. My symptoms are still increasing and I am finding it hard to do everything. I am a 70 year old woman, I am a psychologist and I love working, however I now don t enjoy anything due to the pain in my knee, sacral joint, hip, and back. In 2012, and 2013 I had an anterior and posterior spine fusion, L4/5 and S/1. My brain is foggy all the time and I could sleep forever. I am on gabbapenton, and nor on for pain, my Kaiser PCP diagnosed me with osteoarthritis. I believe I could get better if I were diagnosed differently. I feel like giving up. ( not suicidal.) just exhausted from the pain and disabilities from whatever is going on. Any ideas? I ve read your terms and conditions and I agree but I am not sure if there are fees for any part of this service?

if u are a diagnosed case of osteoarthritis then you can start with low dose steroid in this severe stage... also go for few blood investigation like complete haemogram, serum uric acid, kidney function test...
