I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on ATT with complete bed rest for about four months now. I've started doing some cycling for 30 minutes because I really want to lose weight, but I'm wondering if this is a good choice since I sometimes feel pain in my spine area. I don't want to cut down on calories, so I'm hoping to lose weight through physical activity. What would you recommend? Should I keep cycling or maybe try something else?

Continue ATT as advised by the pulmonologist.

My dad is 60 and has had knee pain for 12 years due to osteoarthritis. The doctor recommended knee replacement surgery, but we're wondering if there's any way to manage or reduce the pain without going through surgery

A total knee replacement surgery is a valid treatment option for severe knee pain and functional limitations due to osteoarthritis, even at age 60. The decision to proceed with surgery should be made collaboratively with a doctor, considering the individual's overall health, activity level, and the impact of the pain on their daily life
