It sounds like your mother is experiencing a chronic nerve related problem which is quite common in older adults when the spine and joints undergo wear and tear The sound she hears is likely related to nerve irritation or joint movement Sometimes when a nerve is compressed or inflamed even slight movements of the spine or joints can create a sensation or sound that seems to travel along the nerve pathway This is often accompanied by radiating pain tingling or numbness which explains why the pain moves from her neck down to her toes on one side Conditions like cervical or lumbar spondylosis spinal disc degeneration or nerve compression like sciatica could cause this pattern especially if standing or certain movements trigger it

In Ayurveda this type of long standing pain with nerve involvement is usually due to vata imbalance which causes stiffness sharp or shooting pains and a feeling of movement or crackling in the joints and spine Aging naturally increases vata especially in the nervous system and connective tissues

Lifestyle and short walks are important to keep circulation going and prevent stiffness . Avoid prolonged standing bending or lifting heavy objects Supportive shoes and proper posture while sitting and standing will reduce stress on the spine

Applying warm compresses or oil massage with sesame or Mahanarayana oil along the spine and legs can soothe vata and reduce nerve irritation

Dashamoola kwatha 20 ml twice daily will reduce inflammation and strengthen nerves Mahayogaraj guggulu 2 tablets twice daily with warm milk after meals helps relieve nerve pain and stiffness Abhyanga daily oil massage with warm Ksheerabala oils can improve circulation and flexibility

Include warm slightly oily foods that balance vata like cooked vegetables rice ghee milk soups and avoiding dry cold or raw foods Hydration is also important

Medical evaluation Given her age severity and duration it is very important she undergoes a full neurological and orthopedic check up including imaging like X-rays or MRI to identify if any nerve compression or spinal degeneration is contributing Pain that is severe and radiates all the way from neck to foot should be evaluated to rule out serious issues avoid prolonged bed rest as that can worsen stiffness and vata imbalance but alternating rest with gentle movement is key

With proper Ayurvedic care combined with medical evaluation it is possible to reduce pain improve mobility and reduce the radiating sensation

YOUR MOTHER PAIN STARTING FROM NECK GOING DOWN TO BACK HIP LEG AND TOES ON ONE SIDE INDICATES NERVE INVOLVEMENT WHICH IS VERY COMMON IN ELDERLY AGE DUE TO SPINE WEAR AND TEAR

WITH AGE THE NECK AND LOWER BACK BONES DISCS AND JOINTS BECOME WEAK DRY AND DEGENERATED THIS CAN PRESS OR IRRITATE NERVES WHEN A NERVE IS AFFECTED PAIN TRAVELS ALONG ITS PATH THAT IS WHY SHE FEELS PAIN MOVING FROM NECK TO FOOT ON ONE SIDE

THE SOUND SHE FEELS IS USUALLY A SENSATION CREATED BY NERVE IRRITATION ,MUSCLE SPASM OR JOINT DRYNESS

PAIN INCREASING ON STANDING IS BECAUSE STANDING PUTS LOAD ON THE SPINE AND COMPRESSED NERVES GET MORE IRRITATED

FROM AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW THIS IS A LONG STANDING VATA DOMINANT CONDITION IN OLD AGE VATA NATURALLY INCREASES AND AFFECTS NERVES BONES JOINTS AND MUSCLES LEADING TO PAIN STIFFNESS RADIATING PAIN AND STRANGE SENSATIONS

WHAT CAN HELP HER

DAILY GENTLE OIL MASSAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT WARM MEDICATED OIL APPLIED SLOWLY OVER NECK BACK HIP AND LEG HELPS CALM VATA AND RELAX NERVES

MILD WARMTH AFTER MASSAGE LIKE HOT WATER FOMENTATION GIVES GOOD RELIEF

INTERNAL AYURVEDIC MEDICINES THAT NOURISH NERVES AND BONES AND PACIFY VATA ARE HELPFUL MAHARASNADI GUGGULU 1 TABLET AFTER BREAKFAST AND DINNER DASHAMOOLA KADHA 15 ML AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER

FOOD SHOULD BE SOFT AND FRESHLY COOKED WITH GHEE IS BENEFICIAL COLD DRY RAW FOODS SHOULD BE AVOIDED
