Ans: I think you need to follow up with your rheumatologist. Blood reports alone don't necessarily mean anything . The patient's symptoms also need to be looked at

Ans: Hello Biswajit,
I can understand your situation. Regular physiotherapy is very important for your mother.
You can also try some other alternate therapies like sujok, accupressure or some ayurvedic treatment.
With allopathy alternate therapies are very good to do to help manage the situation better and improve her quality of life.
All the best!
