Namaste Swapan ji,
For managing knee and shoulder pain, along with arthritis, Ayurveda suggests the following remedies and practices:
Internal Remedies:
Mahayograj Guggulu:
Take 2 tablets twice daily with warm water to reduce joint inflammation and pain.
Dashmool Kwath:
Boil 1 tsp in water, strain, and drink twice daily to manage arthritis symptoms.
Ashwagandha Powder:
Take 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime to strengthen bones and muscles.
External Applications:
Mahanarayan Taila:
Massage warm Mahanarayan oil on knees and shoulders daily, followed by a hot compress.
Nirgundi Paste:
Apply a paste of Nirgundi leaves (Vitex negundo) on painful areas for relief.
Dietary Guidance:
Avoid sour, cold, and fried foods.
Include anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric milk, garlic, and green leafy vegetables.
Use fenugreek and ginger in your cooking.
Lifestyle and Exercises:
Gentle yoga poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Pavanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) can help improve joint mobility.
Practice hot and cold compresses alternately for pain relief.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint stress.
Consistency in these remedies will gradually provide relief. Regular check-ups for BP and sugar levels are essential. Dhanyavad!

Ah, dealing with knee and shoulder pain at your age can definitely be troublesome. You're already using ayurvedic medicines like Pidanil and Arthogrit, yet finding no relief—yeah, that can feel frustrating. Let's dig a bit deeper into this challenge and see if we can figure out what's going on here.
First off, it’s vital to look at your individual prakriti, or constitution, which is most likely impacting your pain. At 70, Vata often becomes more prominent, affecting bones and joints. Knee and shoulder pain might be a signal of aggravated Vata dosha. But hey, it could also involve Kapha, especially if there's stiffness or heaviness there.
Food plays a role too—let's talk diet for a sec. Embrace warm, cooked meals over cold or raw foods. Things like cooked veggies, whole grains, and warming spices like turmeric, ginger, and cumin. Those can help digest foods better and calm the Vata. Ghee is also excellent to lubricate the tissues and reduce dryness.
Now about daily habits, warm oil massage is a classic ayurvedic remedy. Try sesame oil or mahanarayan oil, massaging it into your joints each morning before a warm bath or shower. Even 10 minutes can bring some relief.
Given that both knee and shoulder are involved, posture and movement may also play a part. Gentle yoga tailored for seniors, focusing on flexibility and maintaining strength, could ease discomfort. But avoid pushing through pain—subtle movements are the key.
Finally, check agni, or digestive fire. Is there any indigestion or bloating? Weak agni might distract the body from self-healing. Consider trikatu churna, a blend of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger, to spark digestive power.
Now, this is a fair bit to think about and everyone's different, so implement what suits your lifestyle best. If no changes are felt, don't hesitate to talk to a professional ayurvedic practitioner to maybe tweak the approach.
