This looks like a gait-related knee strain after your heel (calcaneal spur) problem. Because walking pattern changed, the knee joint is now under uneven load, causing pain and altered movement feeling. Right now, avoid overdoing therapies — too many external treatments can sometimes aggravate joint sensitivity. Give the joint some rest and stability: Avoid long walking, stairs, and sudden movements Use a knee support (brace) while walking Continue mild heat (sand compress is fine, but not too hot) Start gentle strengthening: Slow straight leg raises and mild knee movements (no force) At home: Castor oil हल्का massage at night, followed by mild heat Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food Maharasnadi kwath – 15 ml with equal water twice daily Shallaki (Boswellia) – 1 tablet twice daily These help reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and support movement. Important: If “knee ball not in place” feeling continues, consider orthopedic evaluation (X-ray/MRI) to rule out ligament or patella tracking issue. Gradual improvement is expected with rest + proper support. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

Your problem is not just spur or knee alone. It is a chain issue heel spur → altered gait → knee joint strain → Vata aggravation + ligament imbalance. Aggressive therapies (strong steam, potli) can sometimes increase pain when Vata is high.
