I would not mind in expressing on the basis of my three decades old clinical experience that antiinflammatory med will not cure your current problem permanently.

You have better option of getting support of Ayurveda's herbals for relief in arthritis and B.P. issues. Total withdrawal from allopathy may also not be allowed but integration if duo will address the problem sooner than later.

Pl consult privately for specific guidance through direct question on HCM platform.

For the time being may start taking safe dry ginger powder and Turmeric powder with warm milk, or warm water or honey for their antiinflammatory, antiarthritic and vatnashak (Correction of vitiation of Vata) properties. Some herbal massage oils and fomentation thereafter also helps in arthritis. Digestion issues/ mucus in stools if any, needs correction as well.

Hope it helps you.
