General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your knee pain is indicative of RA/OA. You are suggested to get physically examined by a GP & get all tests for RA (CRP, ANTI- CCP, ESR) done.

In the meantime you can take NSAIDs, Naproxen or Combiflam (one sos when required) for relief from pain.

For constant headache, vomiting & blurred vision your treating doctor will get you to do a series of blood & Imaging tests.

If detected for migraine, fibromyalgia, liver disorders you will be treated according to the severity of the symptoms & pathology detected. Cut on smoking, alcohol & addictions if any. Do walking on a regular basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
