I'm 70 years old and dealing with really bad knee joint pain in both legs. Is there any way to treat this with Ayurveda? I don't want to get knee replacement surgery but the pain is so severe I can barely walk. What options do I have?

View allI've been having this sharp pain on the upper left side of my chest, and it tends to get worse when I move around, like when I stand up or go for a walk. Sometimes, I even feel it between my chest. Could this be costochondritis, and if it is, what kind of medicine would help? I'm just worried if everything's alright.
Tab aceclofenac 100mg ,orally ,twice daily ,tab pan d orally,once daily and volini gel for 7 days is advised to the patient.

Being someone who's dealing with rheumatoid arthritis, I'm really worried because I haven't been able to get HCQS 200 for about a month and a half now. Are there any other medicines I could use as an alternative? It's been tough managing without it, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give on what I should do next.
HCQS 200 also available as OXCQ 200 mg Can try that

I'm a bit concerned because my ESR is 50 mmhr. Can you help me understand what that might indicate? I'm planning to see my doctor later today, but I'd love to get some insight in the meantime.
An ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 50 mmhr indicates an elevated level, which can be a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. It is often used as a screening test to help diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. However, it is important to note that an elevated ESR alone is not diagnostic of any specific condition and further evaluation is usually needed. Since you are already planning to see your doctor in the evening, it would be best to discuss your ESR results with them. They will be able to interpret the result in the context of your overall health, medical history, and any other symptoms you may be experiencing.
