What Causes Pain In The Knee During Pregnancy?
Question: Hi,
My wife is suffering from a little knee pain from a week. The pain is on left side of the left knee. She feels pain when she walks or bends the knee. Can you sugget some gel? She is 8 weeks pregnant. Also she occasionally breastfeeds first baby.
When I contacted an orthopedic doctor on this he suggested to use ayurvedic gels instead of allopatic gels and tablets. Can she apply Vicco Narayani? Or can you suggest any other ayurvedi gel that can be applied without effecting pregnancy and the baby in the womb?
Her age is 29 years. Current weight 62 Kg.
Thanks,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Ayurveda Management & Approach
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and after reviewing the case history I’m of the following opinion:
1. In pregnancy due to hormonal changes occurring inside the female body there is relaxation of pelvic ligaments and tendon but along with them they also causes ligaments/tendons around the knee to loosen, resulting in knee joint pain
PS. one physiological cause is production of hormone Relaxin by the ovary and secondly hypothyroidism is also a known cause of knee pain in pregnant woman thus check with Thyroid values.
2. Since you have consulted an Orthopedic surgeon thus he might have excluded ‘arthritis’ as the cause of knee pain.
3. One may consult a OBGYN Doctor for safe alternative during pregnancy [orally] and for external use one may massage with ‘dhanwantaram taila’, also viccco XXXXXXX cream due to proven medicinal properties of the ingredients can be used safely.
