My mom is 44 and was just diagnosed with thumb arthritis. I'm really worried and wanted to ask can this be cured for good without surgery? Are there any ayurvedic treatments that might help? What about non-ayurvedic options? Also, how long does it usually take to heal completely, and is there a chance it could come back later?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with leg pain and swelling for the past year, and nothing seems to be helping. We've done all the tests the doctor recommended, like thyroid checks and X-rays, and they all came back negative. We even tried two months of massage and Ayurvedic treatment, but there's no improvement. The swelling and pain are so bad she can hardly walk. What do you suggest we do next?

I'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.
