Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis. Some advice that I can give to you are :
- Take anti-inflammatory drugs like naproxen or ibuprofen
- Use cold compresses
- Elevate the area
If she doesn't get better see a rheumatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
