I'm really concerned about my mom's upper left arm pain, which is just above her elbow and below her shoulder. It's not super severe, but its enough to disturb her sleep. She used to have pain in her elbow joint, but thankfully that got better. She thinks its because she's not a stomach sleeper and tends to sleep with her arms under her body, but she can't seem to change her sleeping position. She doesn't have any health issues; her blood pressure's usually normal, and her sugar levels were checked last October 2015, along with her Vitamin B12 and D3 levels, which were low at the time. She took the prescribed tablets then but isnt on any medication now. What could be causing this, and should we be doing something differently?

I would advice to undergo Vitamin D3 tests and Vitamin b12 again to know the values now.

View allI'm 16 and have knock knees is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'm worried about how it looks and if it might cause problems later. What exercises or treatments could help straighten my knees naturally?
Yes, it's possible to improve the appearance and function of knock knees without surgery, especially at your age. Strengthening exercises, physiotherapy, and potentially bracing can help realign your knees and strengthen supporting muscles.

my mom needs knee replacement surgery but she's really nervous about it how successful is this surgery usually and what are the chances of it working out well for her
Knee replacement surgery is generally very successful and can significantly improve quality of life for patients. Studies show that 90-95% of patients experience significant pain relief and improved function. Many patients are able to resume normal activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, and engaging in low-impact exercise
