I am sorry to hear that you are still suffering. The cervical spinal problem can be discussed with neurosurgeon. There is no specific curative therapy for knee degenrative changes escept hot fomentation, analgesia and avoidance of excessive knee bending and maintaining a healthy body weight. However, there are some antispasmodics that can reduce muscle spasm.

My son is 4 years & 4 months old. He was diagnosed with mild autism when he was 4 years old. He is not much verbal, he points out to give if he wants anything. He can sing rhymes, tell a to z & numbers from 1 to 20. He speaks few words but cannot say if he is hungry & he is not potty trained as well. He cannot follow or understand any instruction given. He is very stubborn & keeps on crying till his demands are fulfilled. There is no regular sleep pattern, stays awake at night almost & sleeps at daytime. We are not giving any occupational therapy as of now. We started giving him ayurvedic medicine since 3 months. There is no much difference seen in his behaviour. Can you tell how long it will take for medicine to work. Is there any medicine to add on. Kindly suggest. Medicine given are as below 1. kerala ayurveda saraswathi granules twice daily 2.charak cognium syrup twice daily 3. Kerala ayurveda balakalpam once daily.
