My father is 58 and works in the Consumer Grievance Cell at CESC, so he has to travel a lot on his modified Royal Enfield Bullet with a sidecar. His legs have been getting weak, and doctors diagnosed him with osteoporosis. Some suggested knee replacement is that a good option at his age? How much will it actually help him?

I'm 25 and dealing with Pott's spine. I've been on AKT treatment for the past 7 months and recent MRIs show the pus is going down. I did an LFT test and noticed that my alkaline phosphatase is a bit high at 126, while the normal range is 46 to 116. Everything else looks okay. Should I be worried about this? What other medications can I take to help with the side effects of AKT? A friend of mine mentioned trying LIVRITE for 15 days and Bendon while continuing AKT. What do you think I should do?
go ahead
