Given your symptoms of right knee swelling and pain along with your medical background, it’s important to consider an approach that integrates Ayurvedic principles with your current medical regimen. First off, this knee issue seems to show a recurring pattern in different joints; this might indicate a vata imbalance. In Ayurveda, vata is often responsible for pain and movement-related issues. We can try a few Ayurvedic methods that could help you.

For topical application, since you’ve found relief with oil, warm Mahanarayan oil could be beneficial. Gently massage your knee with this oil twice daily, morning and evening. The warmth and herbal content will help soothe and balance vata dosha locally.

Internally, boosting your agni, or digestive fire, can support overall balance and inflammation control. Start your day with warm water infused with a small teaspoon of ginger juice; it can promote digestion and reduce vata-related discomfort.

Regarding diet, emphasize cooked, warm foods that are easy to digest, like khichdi. Avoid cold, raw foods, and excess caffeine, as these can aggravate vata. Incorporate spices like turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties—add it to your curries or tea.

Also consider practicing gentle yoga or exercises that promote joint lubrication without overstraining. Poses like pawanmuktasana (wind relieving pose), and supta matsyendrasana (reclined spinal twist) can be restorative. However, halt any exercise that exacerbates pain.

For hypertension and IHD, avoid excessive salt, fried foods, and maintain regular consumption of your prescribed medication. Aligning Ayurvedic practice along with allopathic measures is important for your heart health.

If the pain persists or worsens, though, a visit to your physician is necessary to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Safety and pain management should be priority, so don’t hesitate to seek medical advice if required.
