Hi madam, thanks for consulting us. Rheumatic problems need proper treatment. Otherwise she may develop deformities and severe arthritis. So ask her to take proper treatment. Please send her reports if available. You can start her on calcium and vitamin d supplements right now. Please feel free to get online appointment. Regards.

Hello your mother is having multiple diseases which need to be managed simultaneously. Firstly get her thyroid and sugar levels controlled (if not controlled). At the same time proper step up treatment of rheumatoid should be started after checking all her reports. Delay or failure in starting treatment leads to a lot of complications namely joint deformities and arthritis which mostly are not reversible. So please get her treatment started asap.
