Severe Neck And Ankle Pain. History Of Arthritis. Are These Related?
Hi there. My grandma has been having pretty severe neck pain lately. She says she wasnt able to sleep last night and it really hurts to look up. She does have arthritis. Also the other day she was working in the yard and one ankle swelled up almost double the size. Not sure if that has anything to do with this problem though.

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read your question.
It looks from your details that your grand ma is suffering from arthritis.Arthritis can involve most of the joints of body.Neck & joints of knee are very common.She may have arthritis of joint of vertebrae or neck bones & of ankle joint.
At present she should take a good analgesic like paracetamol with a joint supplement like glucosamine .These are available OTC.
Hope this all will help you.
With best wishes.
