HELLO,
You had kneee cap replacement surgery one month ago. Even though the damaged bone is replaced, the body is still healing internally
WHY PAIN AND STIFFNESS ARE MORE IN MORNING? -during night, movement is less, circulation slows -the knee joint becomes dry and stiff -surgical trauma disturbs the body’s natural balance In Ayurveda, this condition is mainly due to Vata dosha aggravation
According to Ayurveda, -Asthi dhatu (bone tissue) and Majja dosha(marrow and nerves) were disturbed during surgery -surgery causes dryness, and inflammation -vata, dosha which controls movement and pain becomes aggravated
This leads to -pain -stiffness -difficulty in movement -delayed lubrication of joint This condition resembles abhigataja sandhivata (post traumatic joint disorder )
TREATMENT GOALS -pacify aggravated vata -reduce inflammation and stiffness -improve joint lubrication -strengthen muscles and ligaments -support bone and nerve healin -prevent long term stiffness or implant related discomfort
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =best medicine for joint stiffness and vata disorders, reduces inflammation and improves mobility
2) MAHAYOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =strengthens bones, nerves and muscles, very useful after orthopaedic surgeries
3) ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals with warm milk for 3 months = enhances tissue repair, improves muscle strength, reduces post surgical weakness
4) SHALLAKI CAPSULE= 1 cap twice daily after meals for 8 weeks = natural anti inflammatory, reduces joint pain and swelling
5) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily with warm water before meals for 2 months = reduces deep seated pain, improves circulation around the joint
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
1) OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARAYAN TAILA -gentle massage around knee (avoid scar) -once daily, preferably morning = reduces dryness, improves blood flow, nourishes joints tissue
2) SWEDANA (fometation) -warm towel or steam for 10-15 min -after oil massage = relieves morning stiffness, enhances movement
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -keep knee warm -avoid exposure to cold air -avoid sudden movements -use knee support if advised -do not sit cross-leged -avoid squatting -avoid long standing -avoid cold baths -avoid jerky exercises
YOGA ASANAS -tadasana with support -vajrasana short duration only if comfortable after meals -straight leg raises physioapproved
PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 10 rounds -Bhramari= 5 rounds =improves healing, circulation and pain tolerance
DIET -warm cooked food -milk with turmeric -ghee -moong dal -vegetable soups -ginger, garlic
AVOID -cold food and drinks -curd at night -bakery items -excess tea/coffee -dry packaged food
HOME REMEDIES -turmeric milk at night -warm sesame oil massage -ginger decoction small quantity -castor oil 5-10 ml once weekly if digestion allows
-One month after knee replacement is still early healing phase -Pain and stiffness are common and reversible -Ayurveda works best when combined with physiotherapy -Consistency is key- results are gradual but long lasting -Avoid self medication, supervision is important
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Hello I get it, that pain and stiffness after knee surgery can be a real drag, especially first thing in the morning. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
YOUR CONCERN You had knee surgery a month ago, and now you’re dealing with really bad pain and stiffness every morning.
Getting around after you wake up is tough. You’re also asking about this PIRANT tablet for the pain.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Modern take:
–After knee surgery, the tissues around your knee are still healing, so they’re a bit stiff. Also, there’s less of that natural grease in your joint overnight. – You might have some scar tissue forming, and the muscles around your knee could be a bit weak. It’s totally normal to feel stiff in the mornings for a couple of months after this kind of surgery.
Ayurvedic take:
This is kind of like a Vata prakopa in Sandhi problem – basically, an imbalance of air energy in your joint. It could be from the surgery itself (a type of injury), or a lack of natural lubrication. This Vata imbalance can cause pain, stiffness, and that tight feeling.
ABOUT PIRANT TABLETS
–PIRANT is mainly for muscle relaxation and pain relief. –It might help you feel better for a bit, but it doesn’t fix the actual problem.
TREATMENT GOAL 1. Stop that Vata-related stiffness. 2. Get your joint nice and lubricated again. 3. Make the muscles around your knee stronger. 4. Help your surgery heal well.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF. TREATMENT
INTERNAL MEDICATION
1.Yograj Guggulu: Take one tablet twice a day after food ( It helps with stiffness and joint pain.)
2.Rasnadi Kashayam Mix 15 ml with an equal amount of warm water, twice a day. (This is great for stiffness after surgery.)
3.Dashmool Haritaki (if you’re constipated):** One teaspoon at bedtime with warm water.
Do this for about 6-8 weeks.
EXTERNAL CARE
1.Daily oil massage (Abhyanga): Use Mahanarayan Taila or Dhanwantaram Taila. Gently rub it on your knee and thigh muscles. Do this in the morning or before you shower.
2.Warm compress (Nadi Sweda / hot towel): Do this after your oil massage. It’s super helpful for morning stiffness.
LIFESTYLE AND EXERCISE
* Keep doing your physical therapy like clockwork. * Do gentle exercises to move your knee. * Don’t sit cross-legged or squat. * Don’t stay still for too long.
DIET PLAN
✅INCLUDE
* Warm, freshly cooked meals. * A teaspoon of ghee every day. * Milk, lentils, rice, veggies. * A little bit of turmeric and ginger.
❌AVOID
* Get too cold. * Eat cold food or drinks. * Walk too much or put too much strain on your knee. * Sit on the floor.
PIRANT might give you some quick relief, but it’s not the whole story.
Getting over knee surgery takes 3 to 6 months. The best way to get better is to do those oil massages, your physical therapy, and follow the Vata-balancing advice.
With good care, your stiffness will slowly go away, and you’ll move better.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
