I've been dealing with avascular necrosis in both legs for the past year with really bad pain, but since I also have HIV, I'm not getting good responses about treatment options. Where can I go for hip replacement surgery and will my condition stay confidential?

I'm really worried about my mom. Her MRI results showed a diffuse disk bulge in L4 L5 and L5 S1, and there's also ligamentum flavum hypertrophy on the left side of L4 L5. They mentioned something about minimal to mild scoliosis in her lumbar spine and reduced heights. Could you help me understand what all of this means? Should I be really concerned about this? What kind of treatments or lifestyle changes might she need to consider?

Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water...Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight...Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down....Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement...take over the counter pain medications.. Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful.

I'm a 24-year-old male with bearable knee pain in both legs. I can walk and do daily activities, but climbing stairs or standing for long periods causes pain. My MRI shows a meniscus tear in both knees should I consider surgery or try physiotherapy first? Would love your advice based on the MRI reports.

Given your bearable knee pain and limitations with activities like stair climbing, and the MRI showing meniscus tears in both knees, physiotherapy should be the first line of treatment. Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments like physiotherapy and pain management fail to provide adequate relief or if the tear is severe and causing significant instability.
