It's been almost 3 months since my last visit
to see the orthopaedic specialist for my osteo
problems of my fingers.
And over the past few months, my life has been
a daily concotion of multi-vitamins, ostesamin
plus chondroitin containing glucosamine sulphate
and chondroitin sulphate.
To reduce the lingering pain, I also did the kinetic
finger exercises as taught by the physiotherapist.
But despite all these, there has not been much improvement
So I went back to the doctor, who then recommended that
I consult a rheumatologist instead.
So off I went to see the rotund rheumatism specialist
who asked me a few questions about my background, my diet
and my lifestyle .... and then told me that I am almost
reaching 50 years old .... it is all a sign of old age !
Don't worry about osteoarthritis, she said.
Everyone will have it as they grow older ......
There is no cure ... just live with it, bear with it
and cope with your osteo pain ....
And in the end, she prescribed me with a 3 months
dosage of Plaquenil tablets, which contain Hydroxychloroquine
sulphate.....
