Pain in knee and cracking voice while movement of knee - #17791

To avoid knee replacement, you can follow Ayurvedic remedies to reduce pain, swelling, and strengthen your joints. Daily massage with Mahanarayan oil, a warm compress, and applying a fenugreek-turmeric paste on the knee can help reduce inflammation. Herbs like Lakshadi Guggulu, Shallaki (Boswellia), and Hadjod support bone and cartilage health. Since constipation can worsen joint pain, take Triphala powder at bedtime, soaked raisins or figs in the morning, and ghee in warm milk at night for better digestion. Eat calcium-rich foods like sesame seeds, ragi, and almonds while avoiding cold, sour, and processed foods. Drinking turmeric milk and practicing gentle yoga (like Vajrasana and Pawanmuktasana) can improve flexibility. With consistent Ayurvedic care, knee replacement can often be prevented. Let me know if you need specific Panchakarma treatments or personalized diet recommendations.

Knee pain at your age can be tricky, but Ayurveda might offer some help. The cracking sound and pain in your knee could be a sign of Vata imbalance, typically manifesting as dryness in joints. Ayurvedic approach would be to lubricate and strengthen the joints, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation.

First things first, try to include healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil into your diet. They can be helpful to nourish the joints and balance Vata. Also, you might wanna think about taking a teaspoon of castor oil in warm milk at night which can aid with both joint lubrication and constipation.

Turmeric milk can be useful too. Drinking a cup of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric at night is said to reduce inflammation. It’s like nature’s own aspirin. Speaking of herbs, you might look into Ashwagandha or Shallaki – they are known to strengthen muscles and reduce pain.

Internal stuff aside, for external application, a paste of ginger and eucalyptus oil massaged onto your knee can soothe some of that discomfort. Try applying a warm pack afterward for about 15-20 minutes for better penetration.

Another oldie but goodie is doing yoga. Simple poses like Tadasana or Veerabhadrasana can help improve knee strength yet be mindful — don’t overdo it, listen to your body.

And let’s handle that constipation - ensure good hydration! Warm water through the day sprinkled with a few cumin seeds aids digestion brilliantly. A staple cliche, but still worth repeating: avoid cold & dry foods, as they further aggravate Vata.

Before you consider such a serious step as knee replacement, give these tweaks a shot. Remember though, it’s essential to have regular check-ups with your doc to keep track of any changes in your situation. Ayurveda can be great, but it should complement mainstream medical treatments, not replace ’em in urgent scenarios.
