Question

My mom has been dealing with knee swelling and pain for about a year now. We've tried different treatments, but the pain keeps getting worse. The doctor suggested knee replacement surgery, but I'm worried what are the success rates and possible side effects? Also, can you recommend the best doctor or hospital for this procedure?

Question

My husband has been dealing with this really painful back issue for a year now. His MRI and X-ray show there's a gap between his L4 and L5 joints. He's been doing regular exercises and swimming, which helps sometimes, but the pain can still get really intense. We've seen doctors before, but we're desperate for a permanent solution. Any advice on what we can do?
