I never even went to the doctor with my problem. So I did not find time. She was treated by herself, and I must say, in full successfully. The joints were very sick, ached for the weather ... It was unbearable to endure. Now, pah ugh, nothing bothers at all. I think this is thanks to just the same saline compresses+ additional funds (I took collagen and Honda, by the way, I ordered a phytomarket in the online store). So self -medication sometimes acts very well)
