POLYARTHRALGIA OF UNKNOWN ETIOLOGY
Posted by Dr.L.Padmaramchandra B.S.M.S. on Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Mr. Selvaraj 49/M with chronic pain consulted me 2 months back.
He was suffering from severe pain in the both knee & ankle joints and also most of the small joints. He was not able to work for a long period due to pain. He was also suffering from general weakness. All those symptoms he felt for the past 20 years. He could not move a day without pain killers and fully dependent on NSAID’s.
I have advised him for a routine blood test and other relevant investigations- found to be normal.
From the above symptoms and investigations I came to know that it is poly-artharlgia of unknown etiology. As the problem is not having any specific treatment yet, I have started our traditionally made SIDDHA MEDICINE prepared as per the SIDDHA literature. He has now completed a course of 60 days medicine.
