My daughter has a 46-degree spinal curvature and her back is already deformed with moderate chronic pain. Her scoliosis is unusual because the curve goes into her pelvis, which seems more concerning. At what point does this surgery stop being elective? She deals with constant pain, fatigue, and frequent depression it's really affecting her life.

I recently had a collision while playing football, and unfortunately, I didn't wear my guard. I got hit on my shin bone, and now it's swollen and painful to walk. I've had shin bone injuries in the past, but this one is the worst. What can I do to help it heal?
Considering your obstetric history and current pregnancy, I'll provide a brief assessment: *Obstetric History* 1. *Previous deliveries*: 1st C-section at 33 weeks, 2nd SVD (spontaneous vaginal delivery) at full term, and 3rd C-section at 36 weeks. 2. *Gap between 3rd and 4th pregnancy*: 8 years. 3. *Current pregnancy*: 34 weeks 2 days, cephalic presentation, placenta anterior. *Key Considerations* 1. *VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section)*: Given your previous C-sections, VBAC is a possibility, but it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider. 2. *Gestational diabetes*: You're on insulin (5050, 20x10), which indicates gestational diabetes. This condition may impact delivery options. 3. *Placenta anterior*: This placental position may increase the risk of placenta previa or postpartum hemorrhage. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a healthcare provider*: Discuss your obstetric history, current pregnancy, and delivery options with your healthcare provider. 2. *Assess VBAC eligibility*: Your healthcare provider will evaluate your suitability for VBAC based on your medical history and current pregnancy. 3. *Develop a birth plan*: Create a birth plan that outlines your preferences for delivery, pain management, and postpartum care. 4. *Regular prenatal check-ups*: Continue with regular prenatal check-ups to monitor your pregnancy and adjust your birth plan as needed.

My mom has been dealing with severe pain in her right leg joint, and the X-ray showed an osteophyte at the superior pole of her right patella. The doctor prescribed Etoricoxib 120 mg tablets, which she takes daily along with recommended exercises, but there's no improvement. When she stops the meds because of side effects like stomach upset and giddiness, the pain comes back. Is there any other treatment option for her, or would surgery be advisable in this case? Also, is it safe to take Etoricoxib long-term given the side effects?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
