Joint pains due to cervical issue and slipped disc - #894

Experiencing back pain, joint pain, tingling sensations in your feet, exhaustion, and increased heart palpitations while engaging in physical activity can indicate underlying imbalances in the body, often linked to Vata and Pitta doshas in Ayurveda. At 45 years old, these symptoms may be exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle, stress, or improper dietary habits. It’s essential to address both the symptoms and their root causes to improve your overall health and facilitate weight loss.

To manage your back and joint pain, incorporating Guggulu formulations, such as Guggulutiktaka Ghritam, can help reduce inflammation and pain in the joints. Additionally, regular application of warm Mahanarayan Oil or Kottamchukkadi Oil for massage can enhance circulation, alleviate muscle tension, and promote flexibility. Regarding tingling sensations in your feet, these may be related to nerve compression or Vata imbalances. Ensuring proper hydration and incorporating grounding foods, such as root vegetables and whole grains, can help stabilize Vata.

For weight loss, focus on a balanced diet rich in fiber, lean proteins, and healthy fats while avoiding processed foods, sugar, and excessive salt. Incorporating daily exercise, such as walking, yoga, or swimming, can help improve stamina, reduce excess weight, and alleviate heart palpitations by strengthening the cardiovascular system. It’s essential to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity of your activities to prevent exhaustion and manage heart rate.

Additionally, practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) can help manage stress levels and improve overall energy. A technique such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) may promote calmness and balance in the body.

Back pain and joint pains are no fun, huh? If you’re dealing with cervical issues and slipped disc, it’s probably a Vata imbalance. The body might be giving signs through the tingling under feet and exhaustion too. Vata can be quite a troublemaker, making pain feel more intense and messing with nerves. We’ll wanna focus on calming Vata, while addressing other stuff.

First up, oileation with warm sesame oil might be your best friend. Apply it gently daily before a bath on affected areas. Wait for around 30 mins before washing off. This can soothe your muscles, and hey, it’s great for joints too.

You gotta be careful with exercising with slipped disc. Yoga poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Makarasana (Crocodile Pose) can be gentle on the spine. But, only if pain allows. Make yourself comfy, don’t push too hard. Also, daily short walks will help keep joints moving without too much stress, just don’t start with running a marathon or anything!

Considering diet for weight loss, avoid anything too heavy or cold. Warm, easy-to-digest foods, like veg soups, moong dal khichdi are excellent. Steer clear of fried food, it disrupts your Agni (digestive fire). Morning light meals and fostering good digestion will keep Vata calm.

Your heart’s kinda giving it a run with palpitations when you climb stairs. Make space for rest, even if it seems tricky. Practicing deep breathing (Pranayama) exercises every day could support calming Vata and help with palpitations—it’s like a reset button for nerves.

Just so you know, if that heart rhythm gets really off or causes worry, see a doc. Sometimes it’s not something we can brush under the rug. Finding balance, especially with something like a cervical issue, takes time and attention, but you got this!
