I am 66 years old. In good health. Of late developed severe joint pain. Unable to squat or climb stairs comfortably. I walk real fast. My morning walk friends hardly match my speed. They think the pain is due to my fast walking habit and ask to slow down. After slowing down the pain has subsided little. But still the pain is there. I know it could be due to aging factor. Could you kindly suggest some remedy.

This is a typical case of osteoarthritis which means degeneration of soft tissues and joint surfaces due to age related causes. The best home remedy is to apply warm oil after walk and before going to bed. You should definetly slow down your speed as walking fast is likely to aggravate the damage to the soft structures in the joints. Panchakrma Therapy and proper ayurvedic medicines can help to slow down the degenrative changes in the joints.
