Could this be rhuematoid arthritis?
Brief Answer:
As you don’t have stiffness so RA is less likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
If not relieved then possibility of polyarthritis needs to be considered
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints.
As you don’t have stiffness so RA is less likely.
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine?
When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27.
You can do these tests and send reports to me.
Till time take physiotherapy and anti inflammatory medication.
