What Causes Swelling And Pain In My Knees?

We ll I ve suffered from arthritis since I was a young teen.. My knees would chronically swell I would get them drained they would swell... And so on... I had two orthoscopic surgeries in my left knee only to be told that I have inflammation of the synovial membrane... :( for years it stopped for no obvious reason now my right knee is swelling ... But the funny thing is only do these episodes happen in the spring.. I can down hill ski in winter without worries? I ve had my blood checked for rheumatoid arthritis and it came up negative... What is going on with my knees? Cause I feel like a weather barometer ...:(

Brief answer:
Synovitis

Hi,
Noted your concern.
Synovial membrane produces excess fluid which collects in a sac and cause the swelling in joint and pain.
According to Ayurveda, this condition can be termed as sandigat vata.
Ayurveda has many herbs that can help in reducing swelling and pain:-
:-Triphala,,guggulu preparations,praval pisti ,coral (mukta pisti),ashwagandha,shatawari etc.
:-Ayurvedic panchkarma procedure janudhara (janu means knee),shirodhara can help to reduce your problem .
:- practice of yoga and meditation .meditation provides a way to achieve the balance.
:-Healthy diet, habits and life style can help to maintain joint health.
I would suggest you to visit a good Ayurveda practitioner and discuss your problem .
