  • My mom is suffering from this since 2000, some times it's worst and some times she is good, I pray to god to take all her pain
  • So tho my doc says I have osteoarthritis, It is much worse in the morning, painful even and gets better as the day and activities go on. I have been feeling fluish for a month now again sounding more like RA. I should revisit this with my doc and get a referral to a Rheumatologist…???
  • My mother is suffering from arthritis since 2014 She's been using painkillers mostly because this is the only type of medication she's been given 😓 Yet they don't help at all Please help her 🤧
  • This is a very informative video and explains about the disease in a very easy manner. One of my relatives was suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis since very long and she is thankful to Dr.Vikram Chauhan for treating her.
  • I really hope they work better for a better treatment. It is a very common, painful and scary illness. So people can find a cure without having to worry about being immunocompromised.
  • My mum is always feeling lots of pains since some years now. It’s really depressing, I’ve tried and done all I can do but still yet! I’m confused

    im suffering this kind of this disease
  • My mom has been suffering from the disease since June 2019 and I have taken her to a doctor .. they prescribe her some drugs like celcept, anti biotics etc. Her condition, sometimes, is bad, sometimes not but she often coughing up which makes her difficult to sleep especially at night. My question is, can the disease be cured by doing a surgery or something ?
