View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with some pretty intense joint pain for the past two months. There's no fever, but the pain is tough for her to handle. I heard that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective for Chikungunya. Could you recommend any Ayurvedic medicine that's safe for her to take or other practices that might help? Also, would physiotherapy be a good option for her?
It sounds like your mother is going through a tough time with joint pain. Ayurvedic treatments like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and joint oils may help manage pain and inflammation, but it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Physiotherapy can also be beneficial in improving joint mobility and reducing pain, so it could be worth exploring alongside other treatments.

My mom has ortho arthritis and the doctor mentioned injections as an alternative to knee replacement. Are these injections actually effective and do they come with any side effects? I'm worried about how safe they are for her.
Injections like corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections can be effective alternatives to knee replacement for some individuals with osteoarthritis, providing temporary pain relief and potentially delaying the need for surgery. However, they may not be a long-term solution, and side effects can occur, particularly with repeated injections.

I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?
