Burning sensation originating and spreading from around the right kidney area to the armpit and back, for four years now. No sweeling - #20061
The pain become more intense the longer I remain seated. There is also pain behind my right shoulder which began around the same time. Had scans and xrays which all came out normal. If I press the place I don't feel anything like a lump, it's just like any other place

Based on your description of the burning sensation spreading from around the right kidney area to the armpit and back, persisting for four years and worsens when seated, it sounds like a Vata dosha imbalance might be at play. This dosha, when aggravated, can cause dryness, stiffness, and pain. The absence of lumps and normal scan results is somewhat reassuring, yet doesn’t negate the discomfort you’re experiencing.
Given the seat-related exacerbation, posture and movement seem critical. It’s important to break extended periods of sitting with gentle movement or stretches to increase circulation and reduce tension. In Ayurveda, practices like Yoga can help, specifically, postures that open the chest and improve spinal flexibility. Some positions to include might be the Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Supta Matsyendrasana (supine spinal twist) as they can enhance circulation around the back and armpit.
Massage with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan taila (an Ayurvedic herbal oil) can be beneficial. It can be applied gently to the affected areas, ideally before a warm bath. This helps in pacifying Vata and providing a soothing effect. Performing Abhyanga (full body oil massage) before a shower once a week might also bring relief over time.
In terms of diet, opting for warm, nourishing foods like soups and stews can support Vata balance. Emphasizing cooked vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like ghee may improve overall condition. Avoid cold and dry foods as they can aggravate Vata further.
For a person with a persistent issue, understanding daily routine (dinacharya) and sleep patterns is key. Ensure that your sleep is regular, going to bed by 10 PM and waking up by 6 AM, and maintaining regular meals. Furthermore, sipping on warm ginger tea can support digestion and help in reducing any potential ama (toxins) in the body, a common cause of chronic discomfort in Ayurveda.
Finally, if pain intensifies or any new symptoms arise, do consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner in person for a personalized approach. Remember, while these suggestions can support well-being, ongoing or severe pain should always be addressed with full medical support.
