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 waking up every morning with this really bad pain going from my knees all the way down to my feet. I just had a blood test done, and it turns out I don't have diabetes, but my uric acid levels are constantly high. I know this is probably because I have meningomyelocelespinafidida at the last joint of my spine. Can you tell me what might be going on or how to manage it? I'm a bit worried about all this.

Considering your high uric acid levels and meningomyelocele (spina bifida), the severe knee-to-toe pain may be related to gout, nerve compression, or musculoskeletal issues; consult your doctor to discuss pain management option

My mom has had arthritis for 15 years and is on medication but hasn't had any surgery. What kind of home exercise equipment would be best for her would an elliptical or treadmill be okay for her condition?

For your mother, who has had arthritis for 15 years but hasn't had surgery, an elliptical trainer would be a better choice than a treadmill for home exercise. Ellipticals offer low-impact, which is gentler on the joints, especially important for people with arthritis
