dexa injection uses - #17237
A few weeks ago, I started experiencing severe inflammation and joint pain that wouldn’t go away. At first, I thought it was just a minor strain, but then the pain started spreading, and even basic movements became difficult. When I went to the doctor, he said I had an inflammatory condition and prescribed dexa injection to reduce the swelling and pain. I had never heard of dexa injection uses before, so I looked it up and found out that it’s a corticosteroid that helps with inflammation, allergies, and even certain autoimmune diseases. The doctor said it would provide quick relief, but he also mentioned that long-term use could have side effects like weakened immunity, weight gain, and even bone loss. That made me question whether I should continue relying on it. I started looking into Ayurveda because I want to find a natural way to control inflammation without the risks associated with steroids. Does Ayurveda have herbal alternatives that work similarly to dexa injection but without the side effects? Could this be related to an imbalance in my doshas, like excess Pitta causing heat and inflammation in my body? Are there Ayurvedic remedies that can naturally reduce inflammation and pain? I’ve read about herbs like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and Boswellia—do they actually help in reducing swelling, and how should they be taken? Also, should I be following a specific diet to prevent inflammation from returning? If anyone has used Ayurveda instead of dexa injection, what worked best? Did herbal treatments, detox therapies, or dietary changes help in managing inflammation? I really want to take a natural approach before becoming dependent on steroids.
