Health

Dear Komal
Lately, my knees and ankles hurt a lot. Sometimes, there is swelling.
have a normal daily routine but don't do any special exercises as such. No health issues either.
I am 40 years old, height: 5.6, weight: 60 kgs.
Vishal Sharma

Ans:

Hormonal changes and aging can cause depletion of calcium from the bones.

Vitamin D is needed for the absorption of calcium. It is also a vital nutrient for our immunity.

Keep a check on all blood parameters.

A healthy diet with adequate protein and balanced macro and micronutrients will be sufficient to achieve your requirements.

Stiffness due to lack of exercise could be one of the reasons for knee and ankle pain.

Get into a daily fitness regimen.

Hi Nidhi I am 65 with good health and I trek 3-4 times in a year, had an accident about 15 years back where my right knee ligament broke. I did not go for surgery and strengthened my other muscles with a very good physiotherapist. Since 5-6 months I sometimes get pain in the front part of my left knee and since 5-6 days back of my knee has started paining sometimes. Please advise. Thank you

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Your right knee ligament broke and now you are getting pain on the front part of your right knee or left knee? You have written left knee.
If it is happening in the opposite knee then it could be due to that knee taking more strain. That usually happens post an injury. Even though we strengthen the muscles subconsciously our other knee tends to take more strain. Please check it out with a physiotherapist. They may need to release some muscles of the left knee and you should get better.
If your right knee is paining then better to do an x-ray and MRI of the right knee to check for the ligament and other soft tissue condition.
All the best!

Question by Dilipkumar - Oct 14, 2024Hindi

Health

No pain at start but after walking for 100 meters right knee suffers extreme pain and go on increasing for next 300 to 400 meters but goes out slowly when walking continued. What is this?

Ans: Dear Mr. Dilip Kumar . Thank you for your query. It sounds like you are experiencing intermittent knee pain that worsens after walking about 100 meters, intensifies for the next few hundred meters, and then gradually subsides as you continue. Pain associated with walking in the knee can occur for various reasons, and without knowing your age and medical history, it's essential to consider a few common possibilities. It could be due to osteoarthritis, especially in older adults, where the wear and tear of knee joint cartilage causes pain that may decrease after warming up. Another possibility is patellar tendinitis, involving inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, which causes pain during walking. Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) might also be a factor, especially if the pain is on the outside of the knee. In some cases, pain that starts with walking and improves gradually could point to vascular issues, such as claudication, or a past meniscal injury or ligament strain affecting the knee's stability.

Given the variety of potential causes, it’s crucial to consult with a physiotherapist for a thorough assessment. They can perform a detailed physical examination, recommend appropriate imaging if necessary, and develop a targeted plan for managing the pain. This will help you address the root cause and ensure a quicker and safer recovery.

Question by Natasha - Mar 06, 2025Hindi

Relationship

My age is 25 years and my boyfriend age is 29 years. I have boyfriend and we are dating for around 2 years, we are thinking about marriage. My family members love him and his family members love me. But the situation is like this that, my elder sister is getting divorce so it will take time atleast 4 years. But we can't wait for 4 years because my boyfriend is from gujarat. So in Gujarat, families dont wait for long but in my case my boyfriend and his family members waited for 2 years. Because my family members are saying when my elder sister will get married then after my marriage will come. and my family members are brain washing me and my boyfriend saying that first elder sister should get married if it takes times 6 years still u have to wait. My family members are pressurizing me alot. Infact I discuss and my boyfriend discuss with my family members about the situation but my family is not understanding and they are just pressurizing me alot and making my life hell. Even my elder sister is saying to me that my colleagues are not getting married why u have to get married soon. But my point is that I m not kid I m 25 years old and because of her I m suffering alot because if she cant get married I cant get married this wrong. And because of taht me and boyfriend are arguing alot in this. Like If i waited for my elder sister divorce plus her marriage it will take around 4 years. But I dont think so this is right because of my elder sister I m facing issues and thats wrong. Because i dont know whether after divorce she will get married or not. So because of her I m suffering alot. And the divorce procedure will take 4 - 6 years. Because we dont know that how much time will it take for my elder sisters divorce because she is not doing normal one she has cased a file against jiju so thats why it huge procedure. So that's why we think that we will do court marriage in next month. We both have a support from his family members. His family members are saying that do court marriage without knowing any ones relatives and once your family agrees within this year then its fine but if not then you come here next year and we will do marriage for both of you. So this is right?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You need to make a decision for yourself after looking at all the pros and cons. How are you going to be able to handle your parents once you make the decision to go ahead with the marriage?
Also, on your part, you are right in asking, how long do you need to wait?
Before making a decision, always think far ahead as to how your environment will react and how you are going to handle all of it.

All the best!

Relationship

Hi Mam, My parents are not agreeing for the marriage with my boyfriend cause it's an interfaith relation. I tried convincing them but they keep on saying foul words to me, saying that they would kill themselves if I don't leave him. I had seen my family from childhood and I don't want to be in a similar situation as they are, my mother had a relationship with someone else after marriage, my sister is not the biological child of my father, I am aware of all those but I haven't blamed them for that cause I felt if that's what is making them happy let them be, I haven't even confronted them. Now they say all the good stuff that me and your father were very great to each other you should learn those things and all. I am struck in a situation now. I have a job and my boyfriend also has one, could you please suggest.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Judging your parents and their choices is not going to anyway help you in your context. So, why even go there?
Instead focus on your situation and how you can make things happen for yourself.
- Are you financially independent and will you be able to manage the discomfort that will emerge once you choose to be on your own?
- Will your boyfriend support your decision and will he stand by you when you go against your family?
- What does his side of the family have to say about all of this?
If you notice the questions above, none of them are set to 'convince' your family. It is almost impossible to convince someone who does not want to be convinced. These questions will give you an idea and enable to handle your situation by stepping up for yourself.

All the best!

Question by Sasanka - Mar 15, 2025Hindi

Money

Dear Sir, I am 52 now, I have accumulated 19L in SIP of Rs.42000 p/m, 14L in PPF. I have withdrawn Rs. 12L from EPF for investing in a property of 45 L with a bank loan of 35 L which would invite an EMI of 32000 for next 18yrs. Due to this I might have to stop some SIPs (around 25000/0) in the first year to manage the first year EMI. However, I plan to increase the SIP by Rs. 6000 year after year. My present flat if sold off might fetch me around 25L if in need. If rented, I would get around 10000 p/m. I think of keeping both the flats. My daughter is doing her B.Sc right now, this is for info. My question, if the decision for purchase of new flat have been wise? At end of my pvt. co. service after 8 yrs. should I pay off the total principal at once or try to continue the EMI for next 10 yrs.? What do you think my financial condition be at time of retirement? Thank you. Kindly respond.

Ans: Hello;

Based on the given information, my view is your decision to purchase new flat is not correct from fiscal prudence standpoint.

It is preferable that you close all outstanding loans before getting into retirement.

Based on given information, you may have a corpus of around 1 Cr+, 8 years from now plus two flats.

Best wishes;

Sir need clarification regarding 1.i have done Reliance health infinity insurance for 15 lacks .date of inception is 11-6-2020 PEDs not disclosed ( DM,Hypothyroidism)( done by agent not verified me at that time) 2. Did Reliance Super top up policy after 11-7-2022 online by Reliance agent during this i disclosed that PEDs (DM,Hypothyroidism) and at that time specifically mentioned to online agent regarding PEDs and also told him to PEDs not mentioned in base policy please correct it. I never utilised insurance policy for any claims. During 23-4-24 i diagnosed to have Acute Myeloid Leukemia for which i applied for cashless admission for Reliance health infinity insurance ( base policy) They simply rejected on the basis of PEDs not disclosed. And told that your policy is canceled. But i kept a letter to company stating that in base policy PEDs not disclosed, but in super top up policy i mentioned Again the base policy renewal done after expiry by company online. Later also i went for cashless admission again they rejected claim for base policy. My question is why they did renewal of that base policy inspite of first rejection. And for super top up policy it can be claimed after spending 15 lacks i applied for cashless, they processed it and told to come for reimbursement claim After discharge i applied for reimbursement claim they simply replied that your PEDs not told correct duration since how many days. So we are rejecting this policy also For this what should i do, please Ag

Ans: Hello;

In any insurance adequate disclosure is essential to get a thorough underwriting check and risk acceptance.

Once insurance company agrees to insure with the disclosures then chances of claim rejection are remote.

You may escalate the matter with Compliance Officer of the insurance company, insurance ombudsman or IRDAI for an amicable settlement, if possible.

You may also check with organisations such as "beshak.org" for any possible help in the matter.

Question by Yazdi - Mar 16, 2025Hindi

Money

NAV in my account statement is 42.6 while in reality NAV is 36.703

Ans: There are a few reasons why the NAV in your account statement (Rs. 42.6) differs from the actual NAV (Rs. 36.703). Here are the possible explanations:

Possible Reasons for the Difference
1. Growth vs. Dividend Option
Your account statement might show a growth plan NAV.

The real NAV you checked could be of the dividend option.

Growth plans have higher NAVs as profits are reinvested.

2. Regular vs. Direct Plan
Regular plans have higher NAVs due to distributor commissions.

Direct plans have lower NAVs as they have no commission costs.

Check whether you are comparing the same plan type.

3. NAV on Different Dates
NAV changes daily based on market performance.

Your account statement might reflect an older NAV.

Check if you are comparing NAVs of the same date.

4. Fund Merger or Restructuring
Some funds merge with others over time.

This leads to recalculated NAVs.

Check if your fund has undergone any restructuring.

What Should You Do?
Compare the NAV of the exact same plan type and option.

Check the latest NAV on the AMC website.

Contact the mutual fund house or registrar (CAMS/Karvy).

Ensure you are looking at the latest statement.

If the issue persists, contact customer support to verify.

Let me know if you need further clarification.
