I've been having trouble with both my knees, especially when climbing stairs or bending them during exercise and daily activities. It's getting really uncomfortable. Can you explain how total knee replacement works and what high flexion knee replacement is? I'm trying to understand if either of these could help with my pain and mobility issues.

My mom has been dealing with knee swelling and pain for about a year now. We've tried different treatments, but the pain keeps getting worse. The doctor suggested knee replacement surgery, but I'm worried what are the success rates and possible side effects? Also, can you recommend the best doctor or hospital for this procedure?

Apollo is best for it.

I broke the base of my hand fingers in an accident and now my knuckles have shifted downward. Would a plaster cast be enough to fix it by pulling them back up, or is surgery with a plate the better option? I'm worried about the vacuum effect if they're just pulled up

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?
