Is arthritis curable ? How many types of arthritis r there ? My mother is suffering from knee, ankle pain. In morning she is not able to get up. Had doctor checked in Nepal n the left vein near the ankle is no more due to injection it got dried up. Even after touching the ankle the vein cannot be felt. Is it such treatment curable. Recently had check up in darbhanga. Even the doctor told to go for injection at ankle back. But didnot opt for it as we had bad experience earlier when after injection the vein had dried up in ankle. what do u suggest...?Will be obliged.......!!!!!
