I'm starting on HCQ 200mg every night for my knee joint pain, and I just wanted to know if there are any serious side effects I should be worried about. Can you tell me what to watch out for with this medication?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with leg pain and swelling for the past year, and nothing seems to be helping. We've done all the tests the doctor recommended, like thyroid checks and X-rays, and they all came back negative. We even tried two months of massage and Ayurvedic treatment, but there's no improvement. The swelling and pain are so bad she can hardly walk. What do you suggest we do next?
