I've been having this really sharp stabbing pain in my right chest, and it's been going on for a year now. I've had a breast ultrasound, an X-ray, an echo, and an MRI of the ribs, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this pain, and how should I proceed from here? It's starting to worry me.

My mother has had pain in her fingers and wrist for around 23 years. Our GP prescribed her DV60K and calcium, and an X-ray showed some bone erosion in her fingers and hand. She also has pain in one shoulder when lifting her arm. Blood tests didn't show any bone infection, and homeopathy didn't help much. Right now, she's taking Newbona 10 tabs a month and Nucoxia for pain. Surgery isn't an option since the pain is in multiple places, including her legs. She can still manage light hand work what other treatments could we explore?

Apollo Hospital is best for it.

I've been having a lot of knee joint pain and allopathy doctors are recommending surgery but I'm hesitant. Are there good ayurvedic treatment options in Bangalore that could help avoid surgery? What would you suggest for long-term relief?

Ayurvedic care and marma therapy may relieve knee pain but severe degenerative changes often benefit from guided physiotherapy or joint replacement eventually.
