Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

The changes you have mentioned in the X ray, are irreversible changes. So, main agenda of your treatment is the prevention of further damage to the joint and its progression to the right side.

The treatment prescribed to you by doctor is perfect you should continue with it.

You should avoid lifting heavy weight. Maintain the good posture even if you sit in the chair. Best ergonomics of the body posture prevent your joint erosion and can help you to prevent further pain to you.

You should visit the physiotherapist, they give you heat therapy and electro therapy. They are much hrlp full for pain management in recent times. They also taught you exercise which will be much beneficial to you for pain management.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
