Hello,
As you are mentioning the pain is increasing at night and also with AC, it is related to Vata imbalance.
1. Application of warm sahacharadi thaila+ murivenna to all joints(whole body is still more better) everyday followed by hot water shower
2. start wearing socks and slippers inside house if you are walikng bare foot inside the house.
3. Keep yourself warm at nights.
Take care.
Kind regards.

As per Ayurveda, when a pain is triggered by some cold atmosphere or cold things it is tha vata dosa that is aggravated. So we can correlate to some vata imbalance here .According to your age there is some possibility of degenerative changes of bones and joints also
for accurate diagnosis please do a blood test of VITAMIN D, RA and Calcium as soon as possible.
Meanwhile you can have ,

The joint pain you're experiencing, especially aggravated during the night and with air conditioning, might be linked to an imbalance of Vata dosha in your system. In Ayurveda, the Vata dosha, which is characterized by coldness and mobility, often influences the nervous system and is responsible for pain that worsens in the cold or with immobility. This aligns with the way you're experiencing increased discomfort in cooler temperatures, like at night or in air-conditioned environments.
To help address this discomfort, it’s crucial to stabilize and balance the Vata dosha by incorporating warmth, routine, and nourishment into your lifestyle. Here’s a few recommendations that might help improve your condition:
First, applying warmth to the affected areas could help soothe the pain. Use a warm compress on your knee and elbow at a comfortable temperature, applied for about 10-15 minutes, ideally a couple of times a day. Also, avoid sitting in air-conditioned spaces for too long and dress warmly to help keep the joints warm.
In terms of diet, prioritize warm, moist, and easily digestible foods. Consider incorporating spices that are known to pacify Vata, like ginger, turmeric, and cumin, which aid in digestion and circulation. Cooked meals like soups, stews, and porridges are especially beneficial.
Furthermore, incorporating certain herbal supplements like Ashwagandha and Guggulu, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and joint-supportive properties, might support in reducing your symptoms. However, it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements to ensure they’re right for your constitution and condition.
Additionally, regular oil massages, known as Abhyanga with sesame oil or an oil blend tailored for Vata pacification, can also provide relief. Massage in slow, gentle strokes, focusing particularly on your knees and elbows; this can be done at least a few times a week.
Engage in a consistent routine that incorporates moderate exercises, such as gentle yoga or walking, to promote circulation and prevent stiffness. Just be sure to avoid overexertion.
Keep hydration in focus since Vata imbalance often leads to dryness. Drink warm or room temperature water throughout the day.
If the pain persists or intensifies, it is advisable to seek attention from a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare professional for a detailed diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. It's important to ensure there's no underlying condition that requires further medical attention.
