I have scoliosis in my lower back and my x-ray shows it's C-shaped near the base of my spine. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? Are there specific exercises that might help correct it over time? I'm really worried about whether this can improve without going under the knife.

Mild scoliosis can improve with core strengthening, physiotherapy, and posture correction; regular follow-up is key, surgery only if worsening.

Question

I've been dealing with AVN in my right hip for about 3 years now and I'm only 33. I've also been on Medrol for 5 years for either sarcoidosis or HSP but it's never been properly diagnosed. I need a single side total hip replacement and would prefer ceramic on poly implants but money's tight since I lost my job due to the AVN and don't have medical insurance. Can you suggest some affordable hospitals for this surgery?

Question

I've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
