Dear Doctor, I had suffered viral fever in the third week of November, and since then suffering from Joint pains- in my ankles, elbow, wrists, knees, finger joints, etc. I tried Homeo medicines for a month, but it continued after the effect of the medicine was over. Any cure for the same?
Ans: Hello Paul,
Joint pains may occur after a viral fever. However usually within 6 weeks it should settle.
Have you done your blood tests recently especially for Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, uric acid etc? If not please do a complete blood profile to know if anything is amiss.
Ayurveda can help with this. They can recommend certain oils you can apply on your joints and also give you some nutrition modifications which can reduce inflammation in your body and thereby reduce your joint pains. Example if sugar, dairy and gluten containing products can be curtailed it usually helps a lot.
You may also once visit a physiotherapist. Some mobility exercises shown by them may help you too.
I feel with consultation with an Ayurveda doctor and a physiotherapist should help you quite a lot.
All the best!
