I'm experiencing this pain on the right side of my lower back, almost like a muscle pull. It doesn't bother me all the time, but when I sneeze or cough, it really hurts. I've tried using Volini gel and taking hot water showers, but the pain is still there after almost a week. I'm overweight and just started going to the gym again after years, mostly focusing on cardio. Could this be related to my gym workouts? How can I get rid of this pain so I can safely go back to the gym?

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
