General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello

Thanks for asking a question at HCM

I understand your concern and I will be glad to answer it for you.

Reading your history, I advise to consult a psychiatrist, and you start on anti depressants. These are not only for depression, but they have dual effect of pain relief as well as not making her depressed.

Continue Gemfos, but you need to limit ultratab, diclofenac and paracetemol.

Instead of using pain killer tablets, go for pain killer ointments.

Physiotherapy can help a lot

Hope this helps!

Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
