Arthritis.
My mother,55, is experiencing severe pain in wrist, only right hand. Because of this, she is not being able to sleep at nights. RA factor test results were very high. She is taking medication (allopathy). I request you to suggest some remedy or tail or ointment for pain relief, so she can have a good sleep. She mainly does home chores by herself. Working on home chores will increase her wrist pain?
