Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Hands And Feet

I am having a lot of pain in literally every joint, and my feet and hands feel slightly swollen. This has been an issue for a couple of weeks. Prior to this I have been receiving corticosteroid shots in and around my spine for pain which started after a C5,6,7 fusion which resulted in immediate and extreme pain over two years ago. Been doing a lot of pain management.

Dear patient
Are you having pain in all joints of the body or hand and feet joints ? If pain is in all joints of body it may be due to vitamin d deficiency or rheumatoid arthritis. If pain is more in hand and feet joints possibility of rheumatoid arthritis is more likely. This needs to be investigated with 1. Xray of both hands and feet 2. Vitamin d levels 3. Serum RA factor. Visit reputed laboratory nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile start tab indomethacin 25 mg thrice a day and tab pantocid 40mg twice a day for pain relief. All the best.
