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.

Living in a 20-story apartment building, I use the stairs twice a day as exercise that's 40 floors or around 500 steps. It's convenient for me as a working mom, but people keep warning me it could lead to knee replacement issues later. Is climbing stairs really that bad for my knees? Could it cause long-term damage?

Yes composite holistic excercise better than isolated load

My pinky finger got fractured and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of injury? I've attached the x-ray could you take a look and let me know what you think? Just worried if there are other options or if surgery is the best way to heal properly.

I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through

I'm 16 and have bow legs with an O shape curvature is there any way to straighten them without surgery I'm really worried about how they look and if it can be fixed naturally

While you may not be able to "fix" the bone structure of your legs naturally at age 16, you can improve muscle strength, flexibility, and overall alignment, which can make your legs appear straighter and reduce associated pain. Exercises, stretching, and potentially bracing can help manage the condition and improve your overall well-being
