Your pain is mainly due to an aggravation of Vata Dosha, which affects the nerves and causes pain from the back to the legs, similar to Gridhrasi. This imbalance increases with age and can be worsened by weakness and improper lifestyle. You should take rest, keep the body warm, avoid excessive walking, and follow a Vata-pacifying diet. Gentle oil massage and proper Ayurvedic treatment will help reduce the pain and improve movement. – I am prescribing u medicine for 15 days if no relief then will do an xray of lumbar spine and hip region -Dx: Vataja Gridhrasi + Diabetes Rx: 1) Aimil Muscalt Forte Tab – 2 BD after food 2) Aimil BGR-34 Tab – 2 BD before food 3) Muscalt Oil/Spray – Local application BD + hot fomentation 4) tab trifla 1 tab at night with Luke warm water —Advice: Warm diet, rest, avoid prolonged walking/standing, Vata-pacifying regimen
