I'm 47 years old with LDL cholesterol of 126, and I weigh 82 kg. Lately, I've been dealing with severe back and legs pain. Can you suggest some food options and exercises that might help with these issues?

I'm really worried about my wife. She recently had an X-ray of her lumbosacral spine, and they found she has sacralization of L5S1. Her back pain isnt constant, but when it does flare up, it's really intense and hard for her to handle. What kind of treatment would you recommend for something like this?

For your wife's sacralization of L5-S1, consider conservative management with physical therapy, yoga, or Pilates to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain; pain management with medications like NSAIDs or muscle relaxants as needed; and lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, improving posture, and avoiding heavy lifting or bending; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult an orthopedic specialist or spine surgeon to discuss potential surgical options.

I have an ACL injury and don't have much knee pain, but my knee feels stiff behind when I sit for too long. Can physiotherapy alone fix this, or will I eventually need surgery? I've attached my MRI results.

ACL repair and reconstructive sx is advised.
