And already at the end of treatment the disease completely recedes. But I would advise before applying it to see a doctor and undergo a complete examination.

I have been bothered with arthritis for 10 years already. It arose because of increased physical exertion. I have long been involved in sports, often had to do weight training, which sometimes led to injuries. As a result, this led to the appearance of arthritis.
