Looking for alternative treatments for bilateral AVN of the hip specifically homeopathy or ayurveda. Really hoping to avoid hip replacement surgery. Any advice on what might help slow down the progression or manage the pain?

I'm really struggling with some health issues and could use some advice. Every time I get a cold or cough, I end up having trouble breathing, and it also triggers this back pain. Doing everyday things like washing clothes or standing for a while makes my back ache even more. When I have a cough, I can actually hear strange sounds and feel vibrations with my breath, which is worrying. I feel horribly sick, like my whole body is in pain, even when I'm just doing normal activities. Walking to work leaves my legs aching, and if I try something like dancing, my arms hurt like crazy. I'm just wondering what could be going on?

I'm experiencing a sore throat, night fevers, and sweating a lot. I've also lost my appetite and have body aches. My left leg is swollen and feels really hard to move, which is making it tough to sleep and wake up. My urine showed bacteria, and I had a Mantoux test done. They mentioned my ESR is raised, and my calcium levels are lower than normal. What could be going on with my health?

I've been noticing this issue with my calf muscles for almost a year now. Every night when I lie down to sleep, I feel this persistent pain in my leg, and it's even worse during the winter months. The discomfort just doesn't seem to go away. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or how I can find some relief?

. Calf pain is usually due to venous insufficiency, muscle strain due to abnormal posture or stress, rarely even arterial insufficiency. It will need detailed clinical examination. Also investigations like venous or arterial doppler might be needed is venous or arterial insufficiency is suspected. So kindly consult a general surgeon
