View allIs chondromalacia patella something that can ever be fully cured? I've been getting treatment for more than a year now. I've had an MRI, taken tablets, got HA injections, and even done physio, but I'm just not feeling the relief I was hoping for. I used to be super active in sports, and now I can't even jog. Can you please tell me honestly if there's a chance of curing it, or should I start thinking about adjusting my life around this? This is really important for me to know.

They may recommend further tests, such as blood work or skin prick tests, to determine the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels. In some cases, high IgE levels can be associated with allergic reactions, skin conditions, or immune system disorders.

I've been struggling with forward bending for over 3 years due to my slightly forward L4 vertebra causing movement issues. A doctor recently recommended bone fusion surgery, but I'd really prefer exploring non-surgical options first. What alternative treatments could help improve my condition without going under the knife?
Before resorting to spinal fusion, several non-surgical approaches can address forward bending due to spinal instability, including physical therapy, bracing, injections, and potentially other advanced non-fusion stabilization methods. These options can help manage pain, improve mobility, and potentially stabilize the spine without surgery.
