Joint swelling and other problems

Dear friends,

I am 43 years old. I am working in a bank. I have the following health problems.

Left ear infection started when I was 17 years old. It was not treated properly. There was thin, smelly discharge and finally Mastoidectomy was done 17 years ago. Diabetes was diagnosied three years ago. I take one and a half tablet daily. My feet and hands burn a lot. Actually this was my earliest problem(when I was 16 years old). My finger joints are also swollen.There is cracking in knees.particularly in the left knee. My mouth is dry. I do not like company. Took homeopathic medicine from some doctors. But there is no improvement. My wife tells me I eat very hurriedly. I suffer from crampy pain between the shoulders also. My lips are also very dry. I am considered very intelligent in my office and also among my relatives. I hope some of the friends here suggest a good constitutional homeopathic medicine for me. Thanks a lot. Iam in Hyderabad(India)
