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've been dealing with arthritis for 7 years and the pain is making movement really tough lately. Is hip replacement surgery safe for someone like me? I've been taking painkillers when needed is that okay or should I be careful about timing? Also, what's the approximate cost for this surgery and where's the best place to get it done? I'm considering physiotherapy too would that help before or after the surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is generally safe even for individuals with arthritis. Physiotherapy can help with pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation. Painkillers are fine in moderation, but consult your doctor about timing to avoid overuse. The surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ1.5 lakh to ‚Çπ5 lakh, depending on the hospital.

I've been experiencing this constant tightness and strain in my upper chest wall, like it's always tense, especially when I do anything using my left hand. I recently found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are significantly low from a blood test. I've started taking Tayo 60K for Vitamin D, and just a couple of days ago, I began MeAxon Plus for B12. I'm not sure if these are related, but about 10 months ago, I lifted a heavy bag and twisted my spine, which caused me quite a bit of pain, but it went back to normal the next day. However, the strain in my chest hasn't gone away since then. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can get better?

I've been dealing with this pain in my left hand that goes from my shoulder down to my palm for about three days now. Sometimes my palm swells up too. Is this something I should be worried about or is it likely just a strain? What could be causing this and what should I do?
