VJKK VJKF,

just quick question. I am a semi professionall athlete for my local running club. Im a amritdhari  who regualary suffers from joint pain during long distance races and training. Recently, I started using a new external cream for my skin and joints which contains glucosamine, aloe vera, coconut oil and other healthy ingredients. . However after using it I found out that another ingredient within the cream called MSM contains a certain amount of shelfish amongst other normal ingredients. I am coming to the end of this small tub and want to ask sangat if theres any suggestions for any different types of knee pain creams? I prefer the creams instead of the tablets incase I internally consume anything which may  have meat or gelatine type ingredients.

bro MSM can be vegan too , you can get it in powder form and take orally, you can also use arnica cream/ointement  weleda does a massage balm which is great for aching mucles and bones .

Do you do any joint mobility and do you any cool down stretches or yoga?

This is going to sound really desi, but I have to massage my joints (knees, ankles, elbows, and shoulders) with badaam oil twice a week. I train hard - running and bodyweight exercises - so the oil massage just kills any lingering aches and pains I have. Then I have a very hot shower and get into bed. The next morning I'm as fresh as a daisy. Also, if you're getting pain in your knee from running, you might want to get your patella checked out. There's a commonly available strap that's available which alleviates the pressure on the knee when running. Another thing you might consider is your running style: are you a heel striker or a toe runner? This is stuff you most likely know.

You are right about the style of running.

 I used to be heel striker, I had to change to landing more on the mid-foot.

Same here. I had no idea about such issues. I suffered two serious knee injuries within the space of 6 weeks. I tried everything. Apparently I was a heel striker, so I switched to running on the balls of my feet, and it's been a year now since any issues with my knee.

use sesame oil it is very good for joints according to aryuveda. get organic (untoasted) sesame oil which doesnt smell much. the cheaper toasted one shouldn;t be used. You can warm it up and massage it onto the joints.

be careful of commercial creams etc as many have questionable ingredients and side effects, likewise regular use of painkillers

Ensure your diet is healthy (raw milk,organic unprocessed food) and that you are doing the correct warm ups, resting enough etc. (it may just be overuse/wear and tear)

Basically many factors are involved and you'll know what is the likely cause.

You can go to your GP but they'll likely not do anything meaningful unless there is some structural pathology that needs imaging and/ surgery. Even if there is some wear and tear in the joint (OA) they will just give you some generic 'advice' and painkillers which is not really going to sort out the problem- only mask it (if at all) + side effects. So speak to your peers, look online and try to treat it yourself holistically.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
