View allI have 2 dental implants and might need 2 more soon, but my doctor also recommended an MRI scan for recurring shoulder dislocations. Will the implants or any screws and plates from past ortho surgeries cause issues during the MRI because of the strong magnetic fields? I'm a bit worried about how safe it is.
Generally, dental implants and most orthopedic hardware are considered safe for MRI scans. Modern dental implants, typically made of titanium or zirconia, are not ferromagnetic and won't interfere with the MRI's magnetic field. Similarly, many orthopedic implants like screws and plates, especially those made of titanium, are also MRI-safe. However, it's crucial to inform your radiologist or doctor about all implants and hardware you have before the MRI, as some older or specific types of metal might cause issues.

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've been dealing with this back pain just below the waistline for the past three days. It started after I fell down three steps on the stairs. I tried using Volini, thinking it might help, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I'm starting to get really concerned. Could you shed some light on what's going on or suggest what else I might try?
