There is no specific diet for arthritis. If she is intolerant to any specific diet or she has more pains when she takes certain diet, better avoid those foods. And for treatment can not post in this public forum. Consult any Lybrate doctor privately for prescription.

Hi, Take cap. Flexy Forte 1 cap 3 times a day depending on the severity of the pain. Take Balarista 2tsf 3 times a day, mixed with equal quantity of water and Maharasnadi Khadha 2 tsf 3 times a day, mixed with equal quantity of water. Apply Rumalaya liniment to the affected joints and massage in circular motion for 10-15 mins and then take hot water fomentation. Avoid potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet pumpkin, peas, channa, recently harvested rice, jackfruit, etc. Which aggrevate the pain. You can even undergo physio- therapy for 10-15 days.
