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've been told my L1L2 and L3L4 disc space is mildly reduced with early degenerative changes should I be worried about this getting worse as I get older? Could this turn into a serious issue down the line, and would I ever need surgery for it?

Mild disc space reduction may not progress quickly. Lifestyle changes, physio, and monitoring help. Surgery is only needed if symptoms worsen significantly.

my 19 year old son just had keyhole surgery for a torn ligament and i'm wondering what ayurvedic medicines can help him recover faster

To naturally expedite ligament healing, focus on RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for the first few days, followed by a gradual return to activity with low-impact exercises and a balanced diet rich in nutrients
