Hi @Yasir welcome to the Online Community.

We had to research the condition you describe as it is not one of the many forms of arthritis but an inflammatory disease of the large arteries - the correct name for the condition is Takayasu Arteritis.

You can read more about this condition here:

I do hope that you are able to help your brother, although it does sound as though a follow up appointment with the doctor is needed.

All best wishes
