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?

View allMy 65-year-old mom has severe knee pain because the fluid in her knee is gone and the bone is worn out. She can't walk or climb stairs anymore. Allopathy doctors recommended knee replacement, but I'm wondering if homeopathy has any treatment options for this condition
homeopathy may offer some relief for knee pain, it's crucial to understand that it doesn't directly address the underlying cause of bone-on-bone friction or the loss of cartilage, which are central to osteoarthritis. Homeopathy is often used to manage symptoms like pain and inflammation, but it's not a replacement for allopathic treatments like knee replacement surgery when that is needed

I've been having this pain around my right collar bone and shoulder, and it gets worse when I sneeze, cough, or take a deep breath. It's really bothering me when I move my arms, and even when I lean on my left shoulder, the pain kicks in. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or get it checked out?
This type of pain can be caused by muscle strain, injury, or inflammation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Additionally, applying ice to the affected area and avoiding activities that worsen the pain can also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.
