So, what happened was that my father was quite angry on my mother due to a very small issue. I interfered and said please be calm and don't be angry. With this he stopped speaking to me, mother and my brother. Next day, when I insisted him why no t speaking, how this is going to work and all that, he said to me that you are not my son and I don't know you, despite the fact that I have never been an average guy in my life, I always cared for my parents, I always prioritized them as first priority, from schooling till now, teachers have always appreciated me in front of them, i am earning well and have a prestigious job. This statement made by him is really shocking to me now. The way of being quiet and not talking for 4-5 days or even a week is his habit when something such happens in my absence, and that was the reason I had insisted him to keep calm to avoid such thorny drama.

My Mother is diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis. She is taking prednisone for 2 years now. Current dosage is 2.5mg alternate days alongwith Azathioprine 50mg daily. With this treatment, her liver disease is in compensated state but she is not able to walk properly and there is a lot of pain in her both of the knees. We went to Ortho and doctor said it is meniscus wear and painkiller is the only non-surgical solution to provide relief. Now, as the liver is already sensitive and weak, we cannot give strong painkillers to her and due to this, she is not getting much relief. This is really frustrating for me to see her like this because walking is the basic freedom and she is totally blocked. Can anyone please help here by providing some inputs? Also, does anybody going through such osteoarthritis?
