How To Treat Severe Arthritis Pain In Hands Of An Elderly Person?
I am very concerned about my mother, she s 85 years old. She has a lot of arthritis pain in her hands and she feels like she can t handle the pain anymore. Her doctors say there is no cure for it and can t provide pain relief. She cries a lot from the pain and it really worries me because I don t know what to do. Is there any surgery or shots that can ease or get rid of her pain?
