Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 70-year-old experiencing severe knee pain, knee replacement is a viable option, and it's often considered a life-changing procedure to improve mobility and reduce pain. A comprehensive consultation with an orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacements is the first step to determine if it's the right choice, and they can guide you on the best package options for both knees.

View allMy mom has been dealing with AVN in both hip joints for the past three months right hip at stage 4 and left at stage 3. She's 67 but otherwise healthy, no diabetes or BP issues. Some ortho doctors recommend surgery while others advise against it due to her age. She's managing at home with a walker and physiotherapy but has severe pain in the hip and under her legs. Is homeopathy a viable option for her condition?
While homeopathy may offer some pain relief or support for managing symptoms, it's not a primary treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially when surgery is being considered. It's crucial to prioritize the recommendations of her orthopedic doctors and focus on managing the pain and improving her mobility with physical therapy, weight management, and possibly surgery if deemed necessary

What are the downsides of choosing a hamstring graft instead of a patellar graft for ACL surgery I'm a 19-year-old athlete and worried about how it might affect my performance or recovery long-term Is a hamstring graft worse than a patellar graft for ACL reconstruction I play sports and want to know if it'll impact my strength or flexibility later As a young athlete getting ACL surgery, should I avoid a hamstring graft I've heard it might not be as strong as the patellar option and I don't want to risk my future in sports What are the risks of using a hamstring graft for ACL repair I'm 19 and really active so I need something that won't hold me back later Would a hamstring graft make my recovery harder or limit my athletic ability compared to a patellar graft I'm only 19 and want to get back to sports as strong as before
we can then consider surgical options.
