My mom had an accident day before yesterday and broke her shoulder joint. Her creatinine is 1.5 and hemoglobin is 6.8, plus she has triple vessel disease that's borderline. She's already on medications is it safe to go ahead with shoulder surgery given her kidney function and heart condition?

Shoulder surgery in a patient with kidney issues and heart disease needs careful evaluation. Consult with both an orthopedic surgeon and a cardiologist to assess the risks before proceeding.

Question

I've been having a tough time with this back muscle catch for the last three days. It's really making it hard for me to turn, bend, or even get a good night's sleep lying flat. I'm starting to worry because I have some family events coming up and I really need to be in good shape for them. Are there any treatments or home remedies you can suggest to help me out?

Question

Doctor suggested surgery for both my issues but I started homeopathy treatment two days ago to avoid it. Is it okay if I climb one or two flights of stairs once a week while on this treatment?

Question

My MRI shows desiccation of the L4-L5 disc causing nerve root compression. I get pain when walking, and it's making daily activities hard. Is this a serious issue? What nonsurgical treatments are available? Can it heal without surgery, and what are the chances of recovery without going under the knife?
