My mother is suffering from a knees stomach-ache. the ortho diagnosed it as reactive artheritis ?
she has been given cifran 1gram for 21 days but still no nouns. now she has be advised to have penicillin injection 10 nos. at an interval of 15 days can anyone advocate?
Answer: That sounds mighty painful to go through! I would also go and get a second opinion. Has she tried glucosamine and condroiden with MSN? This stuff is wonderful for alleviated integrated pain. Many arthritis sufferers take it and they sing the praises of it! It is an over the counter vitamin supplement and it may work wonders for your mom. It would sure batter getting shots in the knees!.
Nope...if she isn't happy beside the doctor then she should get a second inference. There is NOTHING wrong with second opinions.
If she isn't seeing an orthopedic doctor and lately a family doctor then ask to see a specialist...they would know and do test and might have something better.
Sometimes it takes time to obtain rid of things...and with arthritis the pain NEVER go away...no matter what. It is damage to the bone and nouns around it. I have it in my d¨Ścolletage and back and although medicationa and excercise (stretching and strengthening muscles around the areas) helps...the agony is always there!

Get a unusual ortho. Just to get a second opinion. If his treatement plan is more comfortable to your mother; than stick near him.
