Nisal Perera, based on your description, it seems like you have chronic pain due to a past slip-and-fall injury at work. Since you’ve tried Ayurvedic massage, sports massage, and stretching (screeching), but the pain persists, we need to look deeper into possible causes and Ayurvedic solutions. Pinda sweda ( hot poultice massage) will help Yograj guggulu 1 tab twice daily after food with lukewarm water Dashamoola kwatha 10 mL twice daily diluted in water

Hi Nisal,

I’m sorry to hear about your pain. 1. Is the pain localized to a specific area, such as your back, neck, or joints, or is it more widespread? 2. Do you feel any numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area or limbs? 3. How is your sleep—do you wake up with pain or stiffness, or does it improve with rest?

Ah, that must be really troublesome. Falling on your shoulder can definitely cause some lingering pain, especially when it’s been a while and it’s not getting much better. It’s good that you’ve been trying massages and stretching (I’m assuming that’s what you meant), those are helpful in many situations, but it seems like it’s not cutting it for you right now.

From an ayurvedic perspective, we’re looking at vata imbalance here – the dosha related to movement in the body. Mishaps like falls can aggravate Vata, leading to pain and stiffness. Here are a few things you might try, keeping your condition and lifestyle in mind:

1. Diet: First up, make sure your diet is warm and nourishing. Include more warming spices like ginger and turmeric; they help with inflammation. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods as they can further aggravate Vata.

2. Massage: You’re already doing massage, which is great. I would suggest using warm medicated oils like Mahanarayana oil or Dhanvantaram oil. Warm the oil a bit and apply it gently. If you can, follow it with a hot fomentation using a warm towel or heating pad for around 15 minutes.

3. Herbs: Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggulu can be beneficial. Ashwagandha can help with reducing vata and promoting muscle strength, while Guggulu is anti-inflammatory.

4. Physical routine: Consider very gentle yogasanas that focus on the shoulders, but don’t push through pain. Simple movements, like arm circles or shrugging, can aid circulation without straining.

5. Rest: Don’t neglect rest, it’s vital. Your body heals when you sleep, make sure you’re getting enough.

Ensure that none of these suggestions interfere with any other treatments or medicines you might be using. If situation doesn’t improve, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional. This pain that’s persisting for so long might warrant a more detailed inspection by an expert to ensure there isn’t something that needs more targeted intervention. Your safety and well-being must come first!

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need more detailed guidance or encounter any issues.
