Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Knees During Sjorgen S Syndrome
I am a 60 year old female who has been diagnosed with sjorgren s syndrome. Sjorgren s has already taken my hearing on the right side of my face and they have removed my teeth (top & bottom) on the right side of my face. My hands and knees are swelling twice my normal size. I am in good shape and have always exercised but am doing less due to the enormous pain. Is their anything that can help me with the pain?

The swelling could be due to inflammatory arthritis die to Sjogren syndrome. Take Anti inflammatory medication and get tested for Rheumatoid arthritis as well. Apply hot packs. Consult your Rheumatologist.
