Introduction
The name multiple small joint pain is quite self-explanatory. In Ayurveda this condition is known as “Asthimajjagat Vata” and “Anidra” is insomnia is mentioned as one of its induced complications. It is a very complex diagnosis to cure as it alarms numerous underlying conditions in adults and the elderly. Patients often “get going” throughout the day and spend their nights tossing & turning in the bed as the pain takes over.
