I've been struggling with severe joint pain for years and can barely walk anymore. I've tried ayurveda, homeopathy, and allopathy treatments but nothing's worked. Is knee replacement surgery my only option left or are there other treatments I should explore first?

While knee replacement surgery may be a solution for severe joint pain, it's not always the first or only option. There are several other treatments and approaches to explore, including lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications, and other minimally invasive procedures

I'm 19 and have bow legs which my friends tease me about. I really want to straighten them naturally through exercises instead of surgery are there any options that could help me?
While exercises and stretches can help strengthen muscles and improve alignment, they won't change the shape of your bones, which is the root cause of bow legs. Surgery (osteotomy) is generally the only way to correct the bone alignment in adults. However, strengthening exercises and stretches can help manage symptoms and improve overall leg health

I'm having severe pain in my right wrist when I twist it clockwise, especially right below the bone that sticks out. It gets really bad when I try to turn doorknobs. What kind of splint or cast should I be using if I want to fix this in a few weeks?
You may be experiencing a wrist sprain or strain. To help support and immobilize your wrist, a wrist splint would be beneficial in this case. You can use a wrist splint that is specifically designed to immobilize the wrist joint. Wear the wrist splint consistently, especially during activities that aggravate the pain, like turning door knobs. Additionally, you can also take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help alleviate the pain and reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
