I am Rheumatoid arthritic and my right knee is bent, is it possible to make it straight? Also I need to know the foods to avoid. Please. Kindly help me.

Question

In established cases of rheumatoid arthritis dmrd (disease modifying drugs) egmethotraxate, hcqs, lefunomide, saaz etc. Have to be used. They all are toxic drugs & can cause bone marrow depression along with other side effects. They should be taken under medical supervision. Kindly adjust the dose to minimum required, to control your symptoms. Have your tests done periodically to rule out any side effects. Kindly show me x rays of the affected part. Rule out diabetes & vit. D deficiency or any other metabolic disorder. Why not discuss with me in a video conference? (facility provided by lybrate. Com) also kindly show me x-ray of your affected knee.
