Grade 3 LES laxity often requires surgical correction. Medicines may help symptoms but don’t usually reverse anatomical defects.

The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery?

My mom has been struggling with her weight and knee issues for a while now. She can't walk properly and has pain when she exerts herself, but otherwise just finds it hard to walk straight. It's been like this for two years is knee replacement the only option or are there other things we can try first?

No, knee replacement is not necessarily the only option for your mom's knee pain and weight issues. There are several other treatments and lifestyle changes that can help manage her pain and improve her mobility before considering surgery. A combination of weight management, exercise, physical therapy, and pain management strategies can be very effective.
