Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi normally blood pressure does not cause any swelling in the joints and muscles. In my opinion your mother could be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or deficiency of vitamin D. I suggest start with Vit D3 60 K once a week for 6-8 weeks along with calcium and if there is no improvement then go for R A Factor and Anti CCP antibody blood tests.
