My grandmother fell and broke her hip bone she can't sit or stand now. The local village doctor said her blood level is only 23 and surgery might not help because of her age. What's the best way to increase her blood levels and help heal her broken hip bone at home?

Raise hemoglobin with iron-rich food, supplements, and transfusions if needed; consult ortho about non-surgical hip support options.

I'm a 41-year-old woman with obesity and just had a complete ACL tear. It's been two weeks and my ortho said surgery isn't urgent could even wait a year. How long until I can walk normally again? I'm not super active but love swimming, walking, and dancing will I still be able to do those without surgery?
First of all, acl ligament tear will not heal by its own ..ligament recreconstruction is the only solution in your case and also then only u can carry out your sports type activities. Second thing waiting for such a long time is not advisable as internal derangement may lead to medial meniscus tear and early arthritis changes due to cartilage erosion..so better to go for arthroscopic acl reconstruction as soon as possible till that time keep doing quadriceps strengthening excersises andROM excersises that will help you in post operative rehabilitation.

I've been struggling with severe joint pain for years and can barely walk anymore. I've tried ayurveda, homeopathy, and allopathy treatments but nothing's worked. Is knee replacement surgery my only option left or are there other treatments I should explore first?
While knee replacement surgery may be a solution for severe joint pain, it's not always the first or only option. There are several other treatments and approaches to explore, including lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications, and other minimally invasive procedures
