Hello Jayasankar ji, Thank you for sharing your concern. Based on your age and X-ray report, this sounds like early-stage osteoarthritis (Grade 1) a very common age-related condition in Ayurveda known as Sandhigata Vata. The piercing pain in knees and fingers, especially while climbing stairs, reflects Vata imbalance, joint degeneration, and loss of lubrication in the joints.But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊 **AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE** In Ayurveda, this condition is called: Sandhigata Vata Where Vata dosha localizes in joints (sandhi), leading to ➡️ Pain (shoola) ➡️Cracking sound ➡️ Stiffness ➡️ Swelling in some cases ➡️ Reduced mobility **AYURVEDIC TREATMENT** ✅ Internal Medicines 1 Trayodashang Guggulu 2-0-2 after food ( helps to Reduces joint pain & stiffness) 2 Maharasnadi kashaya Tablets 2-0-2 ( Vata balancing and anti-inflammatory) 3 Nucart Oa 2 tablets after lunch ( helps to regenerate cartilage between the bones ) 4 Dashamoolarishta 15ml-0-15ml after meals Anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating 5 GT 2 cap at bed time ( Reduces peripheral joint pain) ✅ PANCHAKARMA (for 7 days) 1 JANU ABHYNGA WITH MAHANRAYANA TAILA (oil massage on both knees with medicated oil ) 2 DASHMOOL PARISHEKHA ( medicated warm kashya pouring on the joint) 3 UPNAHA WITH PPS (will reduce local inflammation and sewlling 4 JANU BASTI WITH MAHANARAYANA TAILA ( oleation therapy locally) AS YOUR KNEES ARE ON FIRST STAGE OR EARLY STAGE OF DEGENERATION ITS BETTER TO GO FOR PANCHAKARMA FOR BETTER AND FAST RECOVERY ✅DIET MODIFICATION ✅ INCLUDE Warm, soft-cooked food Moong dal, barley, garlic, ginger Cow ghee, sesame oil, turmeric Soup made of drumstick, carrot, bottle gourd Lukewarm water throughout the day ❌ Avoid: Cold food or drinks Dry, spicy, or deep-fried items Curd at night Long periods of sitting without movement ✅Joint-Friendly TIPS ☑️Use knee cap or support while climbing stairs ☑️Do mild exercises in warm sunlight: like leg raising ☑️Avoid overexertion; take rest between tasks ☑️Perform gentle yoga You are at the right stage to reverse this without progressing the situation towards surgery. With conaistency and the right Ayurveda support, you can regain mobility, reduce pain, and keep your joints healthy for years to come.

Dr. Neha Saini
I’m Vaidya Neha Saini, an Ayurvedic Physician with a strong foundation in classical Ayurveda and a passion for restoring health through natural and individualized care. I hold a BAMS degree from Shree Krishna Government Ayurvedic College, Kurukshetra, and completed my MD in Ayurveda from the esteemed Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune. With over five years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my practice to helping patients manage chronic health conditions, lifestyle disorders, and long-standing imbalances through a holistic lens. My treatment approach integrates the timeless principles of Ayurveda with modern clinical sensibilities. I focus on addressing the root cause of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. Over the years, I have supported patients suffering from joint and musculoskeletal pain, chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, hormonal imbalances including PCOS and thyroid dysfunction, and neurological concerns like paralysis and post-stroke rehabilitation. Each case is treated with individualized Ayurvedic therapies that may include herbal medicine, Panchakarma detoxification, lifestyle restructuring, and personalized diet plans tailored to the patient's prakriti (body constitution) and vikriti (current imbalance). I provide both in-person and online consultations to make Ayurvedic care accessible and convenient for everyone. My goal in every interaction is to listen with empathy, guide with clarity, and offer treatments rooted in authenticity and clinical evidence. I firmly believe that true healing is a collaborative journey—where the patient and practitioner work in harmony to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into equilibrium. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession—it is a way of life, a science of understanding human nature, and a philosophy of living in sync with the rhythms of nature. I am committed to walking this path with you, offering my knowledge, experience, and care at every step of your healing journey.

Based on your symptoms — persistent pain in both knees and fingers for the past 5 weeks, and X-ray findings indicating Grade I joint degeneration — this appears to be an early stage of Sandhivata (degenerative joint condition) as per Ayurveda. Since finger joints are also involved, we must consider the possibility of Aamavata (inflammatory arthritis caused by metabolic toxins), especially in the presence of digestive imbalance. Also noting your age (62 years) and history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Hypertension (HTN), the treatment plan must be gentle, Vata-pacifying, and safe for long-term use. Recommended Tests for Confirmation Please get the following lab investigations done if not already completed: RA Factor Anti-CCP Antibody CRP, ESR Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12 Serum Calcium Serum Uric Acid These will help us confirm the diagnosis and rule out any underlying autoimmune or nutritional issues. Suggested Ayurvedic Treatment (Initial Plan) Internal Medicines (to be taken only after in-person Ayurvedic consultation): Trayodashang Guggulu – 2 tablets twice a day after meals Boniheal Tablet – 2 tablets twice a day Herbal Decoction (Bala, Erandmool, Ashwagandha, Rasna, Shatavari, Vidari) – 40 ml twice daily Praval Panchamrit – 1 tablet twice daily Avipattikar Churna – 3 gm at bedtime with warm water External & Panchakarma Therapies (if accessible): Snehana (medicated oil massage) Swedana (herbal steam) Janu Basti (oil therapy for knees) Mild Basti therapy (under medical supervision) Lifestyle Tips: Eat warm, freshly cooked food. Avoid curd, fermented items, and cold/raw food. Use ghee and digestive herbs (dry ginger, garlic, ajwain) in moderation. Gentle movement, such as slow walking or joint-friendly yoga, is beneficial. Important Advice Before Starting Treatment Since this is a chronic condition and you also have diabetes and hypertension, I strongly recommend meeting a nearby Ayurvedic doctor in person before starting the above medicines. This will help ensure proper assessment of your body type (Prakriti), current stage of disease (Avastha), and appropriate customizations in medicine and dosage. I trust this advice will be of benefit to you.

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

HELLO JAYASANKAR SIR, Think of your knee joint as a cushion system where bones move smoothly over each other because of a slippery layer called Cartilage. This is a subtype of Vatavyadhi and correlates to osteoarthritis in modern terms -SANDHI= joint -VATA= dry, mobile, cold principle -SANDHIVATA= vata getting lodged in joints, leading to pain, stiffness, crepitus, degeneration your pain worsening while climbing stairs and in fingers indicates both gross joint involvement knees and small joint vata aggravation(fingers) COMPLICATING FACTOR -DIABETES(MADHUMEHA)-> causes dryness, tissue loss, and nerve sensitivity -> increase vata and slows tissue regenration -HYPERTENSION(raktagata vata/pittaja vyadhi)-> may contribute to stiffness , inflammation, and blood vessel changes. -Your age(62)-> jara janya vata vriddhi- age- related increase in vata naturally predisposes to degeneration so the pain, stiffness, and functional. limitation stem from a chronic, dry, degenerative vata pathology, compounded by impaired metabolism(from diabetes), circulatory issues (from bp), and likely ama(toxins/metabollic waste) in early stages. INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after food with lukewarm water = anti-inflammatory, vata balancing 2) MAHARASNADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with warm water twice daily before meals =joint pain and stiffness 3) SHALLAKI= 1 tab 500 g twice daily after meals with lukewarm water = natural painkiller slows cartilage loss 4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =strengthens bones, muscle relaxant 5) GUDUCHI CAPSULES = 2 cap daily in morning = immunomodulatory, detoxifier 6) SIMHANADA GUGGULU = 1 tab twice daily after meals = stiffness with ama EXTERNAL TREATMENT 1) OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARAYAN TAILA -warm oil application with gentle massage daily -promotes circulation and reduces stiffness 2) STEAM THERAPY -after massage give steam for better absorption -reduces inflammation, opens channels PACHAKARMA ADVISED -BASTI THERAPY= most effective vat treatment, lubricates joints internally -JANU BASTI= warm medicated oil is retained over nee joint -PATRA PINDA SWEDA= reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation DIET -warm, cooked food only-never eat cold or raw food -Ghee- 1 tsp / day(natural joint lubricant) - soups- bone broth, vegetables or moong dal soup with ginger - green vegetables= steamed or lightly sauteed -grains= wheat, rice, barley, millets- warm and soft - Milk- warm cows milk with turmeric or ashwagandha -spices= turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin, ajwain= helps digestion and inflammation -Fruits= ripe bananas, papaya, apples-stewed, figs AVOID THESE STRICTLY -cold items= refrigerated food, cold water, ice cream -dry foods= popcorn, dry toast, chips, crackers -sour curd and yogurt= especially at night(it increases inflammation) -too much salt or sugar - nightshade vegetables in excess= like brinjal, tomato, potatoes -alcohol and smoking-they dry joints and worsen degenration -fermented food- pickles, vinegar LIFESTYLE- DAILY HABITS -gentle walking or yoga every day- keep moving but avoid strain -use knee cap for support if walking is painful -take warm water sips throughout the day-helps vata and digestion -keep body warm-avoid exposure to cold air or water -practice slow deep breathing or meditation-reduces pain sensitivity -sleep early-helps tissue repair AVOID -sitting in the same position for too long -high-impact exercises= like jumping, running, stairs - sleeping late at night -daytime naps= especially after heavy meals - sudden jerky movements -stress=it increases pain perception and vata imbalance HOME REMEDIES -turmeric milk= 1 cup at bedtime -fenugreek seeds soaked overnight= eat in the morning -garlic in ghee= chew 1-2 cloves cooked in ghee = good for joints -castor oil= 1 tsp before bed once a week as mild detox YOGA ASANA -tadasana -vrikshasana -setu bandhasana -supta padangusthasana -ananda balasana -marjariasana SIMPLE STRENGTHENING EXERCISES -quad sets=10-15 reps -heel slides=10 reps each side - seated leg raises= 5-10 reps - ankle rotations -wall support squats GRADE 1 OA is curable easily but it does require consistent effort in: -Diet -Daily movement -Ayurvedic medicines -Local external therapy You can definitely experience relief from pain, better mobility and delay or avoid surgery for years if you manage it and follow this consistently DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.
