I'm noticing that my leg is a lot thinner compared to the rest of my body, and I'm not really feeling a lot of energy in it. I always seem to have knee pain in both of my legs. I'm really worried and not sure what to do about it. Do you have any advice?

It sounds like you're experiencing weakness and pain in your legs, which could be related to muscle weakness, poor circulation, or other health factors. It's important to consult a doctor to identify the underlying cause, and in the meantime, regular leg exercises, proper nutrition, and staying hydrated might help improve strength and reduce pain.

My 93-year-old mom has been dealing with really bad knee pain for the past year and it's making everyday life tough for her. Is knee replacement surgery even an option at her age or are there other treatments we should consider first? I'm worried about the risks but also want her to have some relief

While knee replacement surgery is generally safe, even for older adults, it's crucial to carefully consider all available treatment options for your 93-year-old mother, weighing the potential benefits and risks. A consultation with her doctor is vital to assess her overall health, the severity of her knee pain, and the suitability of different treatments, including non-surgical approaches and, if appropriate, knee replacement
