At 80 with diabetes and severe night pain, this is usually Vata disorder (Sandhivata / osteoarthritis) with muscle weakness. Treatment should be pain relief + joint nourishment + safe for diabetes. Simple Ayurvedic medicines and dose 1. For pain and inflammation Yograj Guggulu Dose 1–2 tablets twice daily after food Maharasnadi Kwath Dose 30–40 ml twice daily before food 2. For bone and muscle strength Ashwagandha churna Dose 3 grams twice daily with warm milk Lakshadi Guggulu Dose 1–2 tablets twice daily 3. For local pain (very important) Mahanarayan oil massage Apply on knees and thighs, gentle massage 10–15 minutes Follow with hot fomentation For sleep and night pain Tagara or Jatamansi Dose 250 mg at night Diet advice Warm, soft food Add small amount of ghee daily Avoid cold food, curd at night Lifestyle Avoid stairs as much as possible Gentle movement only, do not overdo physiotherapy Keep joints warm
