I've been having a lot of knee joint pain and allopathy doctors are recommending surgery but I'm hesitant. Are there good ayurvedic treatment options in Bangalore that could help avoid surgery? What would you suggest for long-term relief?

Ayurvedic care and marma therapy may relieve knee pain but severe degenerative changes often benefit from guided physiotherapy or joint replacement eventually.

I'm curious if the joint pain I'm experiencing now could be related to my low platelet issue from 4 to 5 weeks ago. Everything else feels pretty good, but this pain is bothering me. What could be the cause?

not related to low platelets

I'm having some trouble with upper back pain near my neck and shoulder, and it's really starting to bug me. Sometimes I even get this mild breathing issue, but its kind of on and off. When I sneeze, there's this weird foul smell thats really bothering me. I've had a spirometry test done and it came out normal, so there's that. I know I'm low on vitamin D, so I'm taking supplements for that. I've also been feeling joint pain in my hands from time to time. Any ideas on how to deal with this upper back pain? And do you think all these symptoms are connected somehow?

do CT scan of cervical

I've been dealing with some joint and chest pains since I had chikungunya last month. They seem to come and go, sometimes they're really intense and other times not so much. Is this something that will eventually clear up on its own, or should I be doing something to help with the recovery? I'm just a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.

it will reduce
