Suggest Treatment For Stiffness And Burning Sensation In The Joints

No one else has been able to, so why not. My husband as episodes of swelling. Concentrated in the face and joints. This is accompanied by joint pain, burning in the joints and stiffness. He also has a distinctive odor to him. It s not offensive, just odd. Kinda of a musty stale smell. It seems to by somehow related to changes in the weather.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Please make sure he has not been stung by any insect recently.
The swelling in face accompanied by joint pain could be a sign of possible psoriatic arthritis. However, should check it out by rheumatologist and dermatologist first.

Keep monitoring his blood pressure, record the results for reference.

Hope this helps.
