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

View allit's been 6 weeks since my acl and meniscus surgery - can i ditch the knee brace and crutches now and start climbing stairs normally?
It's generally advisable to consult with your surgeon or physical therapist before making any significant changes to your recovery plan, especially after ACL and meniscus surgery. However, at 6 weeks post-op, you might be able to gradually decrease reliance on the knee brace and crutches, but you should not start climbing stairs normally yet. Full stair climbing typically takes longer, around 3-4 months, and requires a more comprehensive rehabilitation program.

my right thumb is fractured and the doctor is recommending surgery with k wires is there any other treatment option or do i really need the surgery
If the fracture is displaced or unstable, K-wire surgery is the standard approach. Minor, stable fractures can sometimes be managed with casting. Get a second opinion with X-ray.
