Question

My mom has been dealing with arthritis for 10 years her left leg posture has changed, and now her right leg hurts too. It got worse when her finger joints started acting up. Homeopathy didn't help, and allopathic painkillers caused digestion issues and loss of appetite. An orthopedic surgeon suggested knee surgery, but Ayurveda fixed her fingers, though her knees stay swollen and painful. I'm not sure if nonsurgical options even work for this kind of arthritis. With Covid around, hospital visits are tough, especially since we're far from cities. I'm looking into video consultations but don't know which specialist would be best could exercise, diet, meds, or injections help, or is surgery the only option?

Question

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?
