To naturally improve knee health with osteoarthritis and delay or avoid surgery, focus on managing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles around your knees. This can be achieved through a combination of low-impact exercise, weight management, and potentially the use of supplements and pain relief methods.

I've been having this ache-like pain when I lift my left hand or lean on my left elbow, and it's been going on for about 23 years now. It's weird because the pain goes away if I keep doing the movement repeatedly. Sometimes, touching my chest on the left side hurts, but other times I don't feel anything. What do you think could be going on?

I'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?

Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.

I had an ACL tear and heard about PRP treatment but I'm not sure if it's a permanent fix or if I'll eventually need arthroscopy surgery what would you recommend for long-term recovery

PRP therapy can be a valuable tool for ACL tear recovery, especially in the initial stages and for smaller tears, but it's not a permanent solution and may not be effective for all patients. ACL reconstruction surgery is often necessary for restoring full knee stability and function, especially if you have a complete tear or experience persistent instability.
