oh dear! :( my mom has arthritis in her shoulder and knees so I know what a crippling disease it can be... my only word of advice would be to get medical attention fast and not to stop medication until the doctor says so... mom stopped half way and when she went back to medication it didn't work as well as the first time around...

take care bro!

Ouch... I know what you're going through... I still suffer from arthritis in my knees and the small joints of my feet after that awful chikungunya 8 months ago! What's the cause for yours? Anyway, I'd advise

1. warm saltwater baths (two handfuls of sea salt in a basin big enough to hold your ankles) for 15 minutes twice a day

2. Avoid tinned food, esp tuna and cola drinks because the chemicals react with gut enzymes and produce thingies that make the arthritis worse

3. rest the joints - no bopping up and down "to see if it still hurts"

4. diclofenac sodium (voltaren/ dicloran) gel to the sore bits

5. if you think you need stronger painkillers than paracetamol or panadiene, see a doctor since it's a bad idea to get prescription meds from an anonymous medical blogger! :)

santhoshi: nothing at al until i put my feet on the floor, otherwise im fine. Not in chennai though, got to a doc immediate.

LD: looks like it for now, i have to finish the medication to check out wht it is actually.

Chavie: Thanks bro. taking most care as i can take.

Angel: Anonymous / or not, i do value ur opinion. Did run to the doc as soon i couldn't keep ma feet on the ground. got a proper doc's advise the next day, advised a couple of things, will mail you details.

Gadget girl: i think this all happened cos i went looking for your curd :P hehehe just kidding.. Thanks gadget...

Indyana: Yeh i know its sad.. :) hopefully i get it fixed, so i can do some walk around atleast..

Thanks all...*hugs*
