Question

My doctor recommended knee replacement for osteoarthritis but I'm not ready for surgery yet. Would Synvisc One injections help manage the pain and buy me some time before I need the procedure?

Question

I'm a bit worried because yesterday I collided with someone while playing football and hit my chest pretty hard with my fist. I used a cold pack right away, and the pain seemed to lessen, but this morning it was back just as bad. There's no redness or pain when I breathe, but if I move or stretch, like getting out of bed, it really hurts. Sometimes it even hurts when I cough hard. I've been taking dolo after meals in the morning and at night, and I'm using belladonna plaster along with hot water pack treatments twice a day. Should I go see a doctor right away, or is it okay to monitor the pain a bit longer? Am I doing the right things with the medicines and treatments?

Question

My doc recommended surgery for my condition but I'm wondering if meds and rest could work instead. The MRI shows the issue but I'm hesitant about going under the knife is there a non-surgical option that might help?

Question

I've been dealing with genu valgum for the past four years and it's really affecting my daily life. My knees feel so much pressure when I walk, and the pain is constant. I'm really not keen on surgery like corrective osteotomy are there any other treatment options that could help me manage or even fix this without going under the knife?
