View allMy knee has been getting stiffer over time and movement is becoming painful are there any good alternatives to knee replacement surgery? I've heard about stem cell therapy but not sure if it's effective or safe for long-term relief. What would you recommend?
Knee injections or stem cell therapy may offer temporary relief, but long-term outcomes vary and need specialist input.

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.
