Hi
With modern treatment with drugs,plasma replacement infusions are helpful...prothrombin time has to be determined by blood test before infusions and detecting clotting factors missing in blood..crowns is an autoimmune disease associated with joint implications.immunosuppressants like cyclophosphamide,azathioprine and other drugs are prescribed along with pain meds.like NSAIDs for joint pains
Consult a rheumatologist or an immunological clinics for evaluation and management
