My friend Billie Jo gibbons she has trouble with her feet

Female | 25

Plantar fasciitis is one of the common conditions for this. It can cause pain at the bottom of the feet, particularly in the morning. It is a condition caused when tissue that connects the heel to the toes gets strained. Billie Jo should go for calf stretches and pick supportive shoes. Ice packs are also a good way to shrink the swelling.

The pain may be due to tendonitis, which is the inflammation of the tendons around the knee, and that might be causing the problem. On the other hand, hand and thumb joint pain might be a sign of osteoarthritis. Resting your knee, putting ice on the swelling area, and moving your hand slowly are the best home remedies for it. If nothing changes, you should consult an orthopedist.

Regarding some medicine .... I m having osteoarthritis

Female | 49

Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.
