Suggest Treatment For Degenerative Arthritis
Question: It appears that I have some "inflammatory" condition. I thought that it may be some form rheumatoid arthritis.
Since I have a mild arthritis on my scalp. The pain is in my left shoulder and runs up on my neck. I also feel some "stiffness" in two of my fingers. I had a mild soreness in my left shoulder due to excessive tennis playing. My mother had arthritis and rheumatism. What topical medication can I use to relief the solder and neck pain which is quite bothersome?
