Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you're having arthritis of all joints of the body . You need to investigate by doing rheumatoid factor test, uric acid test ,ESR and C reactive protein etc.You should also check for your VitaminD and Vitamin B-12.Till then you can take ibuprofen for pain relief.If pain is more then strong analgesic such as tramadol can be taken.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
