My 65-year-old mom has severe knee pain because the fluid in her knee is gone and the bone is worn out. She can't walk or climb stairs anymore. Allopathy doctors recommended knee replacement, but I'm wondering if homeopathy has any treatment options for this condition

homeopathy may offer some relief for knee pain, it's crucial to understand that it doesn't directly address the underlying cause of bone-on-bone friction or the loss of cartilage, which are central to osteoarthritis. Homeopathy is often used to manage symptoms like pain and inflammation, but it's not a replacement for allopathic treatments like knee replacement surgery when that is needed

I'm experiencing pain in the upper side of my chest, and it feels like it might be related to a bone or muscle because there's some swelling under the skin. My lower neck sometimes aches too. The pain in the swollen area seems to flare up every now and then. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

Question

I'm 25 and dealing with Pott's spine. I've been on AKT treatment for the past 7 months and recent MRIs show the pus is going down. I did an LFT test and noticed that my alkaline phosphatase is a bit high at 126, while the normal range is 46 to 116. Everything else looks okay. Should I be worried about this? What other medications can I take to help with the side effects of AKT? A friend of mine mentioned trying LIVRITE for 15 days and Bendon while continuing AKT. What do you think I should do?
