Heat + humidity affects joint/nerve pain differently by person — some improve, some worsen. Bring: full medication supply plus 30% buffer, comfort items (heating pad, TENS unit — 220V compatible or with adapter), gentle stretching routine. Avoid over-scheduling — build 60% rest into itinerary.

Complementary options: Ayurvedic massage (specifically for chronic pain — different techniques), warm mineral springs (Kanniya), gentle yoga classes. Avoid: multiple-hour long chauffeur days without stops, hostel bunk beds, over-cold AC. Mid-range accommodations with proper mattresses recommended.
