How Can I Cure Arthritis Without Undergoing Surgery ?
sir,I am Indu Ambastha, aged 50 years (f) suffering from arthrities for the last 10 years and treated almost all pathy but in vein. my big joints are badly affacted and right knee has been inclined to right , left shoulder and right elbow and both wrist are affected and having a lot of pain with restricted movement. what should I do? one of doctor suggested me to go for knee relacement but I think only knee replacement is not the solution since other big joints will remain untreated. please advise accordingly.

Dear Mrs. Ambastha.
Sorry to hear your plight and torment all these years, especially the failure to relief from all modalities. I think this could turn out to be rheumatoid in nature. Have you undergone blood or x ray investigations? If so I'd like to know the reports. If not then I'm again sorry that you were never definitely diagnosed. The condition of your leg is called arthritic varus deformity and if not properly diagnosed and treated can turn disastrous.Same goes for other joints too. So I'll suggest you first concentrate on reaching a diagnosis, then arrest the condition at the said stage, then treat the cause and disease. And yes as you said only single knee replacement is not an answer..but an incomplete answer. By which I mean you would eventually land up deforming the other knee as well. But knee replacement is a fine option to think of..and a definitive one too.
Good luck and remember..always follow evidence based medicine.
Have a nice day.
