Joint pain can cripple movement along with the distress it causes. Osteoarthritis, in fact, is a degenerative disease of joints. The cartilage — a firm and flexible connective tissue in joints between the bones which holds the bones together and act as a cushion between joints — gets degenerated. The cartilage prevents the bones from rubbing against each other by reducing the friction when any movement occurs at a joint. So, when the joint cartilage degenerates, the bones rub against each other during joint movement, leading to pain. The main risk factors that lead to Osteoarthritis are advanced age, overuse of joints, obesity and trauma. After the joint cartilage becomes soft, irregular, rough and thin, there is a growth of osteophytes at the margin of joints. These later get enlarged and calcified, resulting in reduction in joint space. As a result of reduced joint space, the bones rub against each other while movement. The pain that follows can be devastating. Osteoarthritis is mainly of the knee joint, hip joint and finger joints. The main symptoms are pain in joints during movement, stiffness of joints after a period of immobility, swelling and tenderness of the affected joint, formation of hard nodes mainly in finger joints, limitation of movement of joints, and wasting of muscles near affected joints. In advanced cases of Osteoarthritis, there is a distortion of joint contours that can lead to even deformity. Natural Homeopathic remedies for osteoarthritis are of great help for patients of Osteoarthritis, both for providing relief from pain and ensuring that this degenerative disease is stopped in its tracks.

Hello Dr. I am 56 have Diabetes, Lumbago, spondylosis,
Recently I have started to have pain in my knees which has changed my walking, and numbness in both of my feet with tingling sensation, could you please suggest some homeopathy medicine.
I am 37 and I was diagnosed with chronic Osteoarthritis when I was 25 years old. I was shot in my leg when I was 19 when I went back to Chicago for summer break from college in Florida. My femur was fractured as result of the bullet hitting my femur. I had surgery and I have had metal rods from my hip to my knee since then. I can always tell when it is about to rain either the next day or two. Right before it rains, I am in excruciating pain in my hips and knee. Motrin is the only drug that works for my pain.
My mother is 72 years old. My mother has been suffering from this disease for several years, but then she could walk. MRI shows that the lumbar spine is bent to the left and the two knees are attached to each other. As a result, my mother is not able to walk at all. The doctors told me to have a knee replacement, but neither I nor my mother agreed. That is why I want to take medicine in homeopathy which gives a solution to this problem.; she can’t sleep with her legs fully open. I told you with great hope; I hope you will take this matter seriously and make an outline of the right medicine.
Namaste 🙏
