Namaste, Your condition shows a combination of hypothyroidism + long-standing nerve/muscle involvement + weak digestion. This usually needs a step-by-step, balanced approach, not aggressive treatment. Simple understanding: The stiffness, numbness, and pinching pain are likely related to nerve compression + vata imbalance over time. Thyroid imbalance can contribute to low energy, stiffness, and slow metabolism. Digestive weakness (gas, low appetite) further affects tissue nourishment and recovery. Simple measures that may help: Continue Eltroxin 50 mcg regularly and monitor thyroid levels (do not change dose on your own). Take warm, light, and easily digestible food; avoid heavy, cold, and processed foods. Do gentle stretching and physiotherapy, avoid heavy gym or strain. Daily warm oil massage (sesame oil) followed by mild heat on spine and joints. Maintain regular sleep and reduce stress, as nerve symptoms worsen with stress. Support digestion with warm water, cumin/ginger-based simple drinks. Since symptoms are long-standing, improvement may be gradual but possible with consistency. Ayurvedic medicines that may support your condition include: Cervigest Tablets – traditionally used to support cervical spine issues, stiffness, and nerve-related symptoms. Lumbagest Tablets – sometimes used to support lower back pain, stiffness, and nerve compression. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
