My left collarbone sticks out more on the left side and sits higher than the right, causing constant pain in my right shoulder when I stand for long periods. Can this be fixed with exercises or would I need surgery? Also, could this affect my posture in the long run?

I've been dealing with this back pain just below the waistline for the past three days. It started after I fell down three steps on the stairs. I tried using Volini, thinking it might help, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I'm starting to get really concerned. Could you shed some light on what's going on or suggest what else I might try?

I'm a 45-year-old woman, 66 kgs and 5.2 ft tall, mostly at home doing housework. Lately, I've been having knee pain, especially when climbing stairs or standing for more than 5 minutes. An orthopedic surgeon did an X-ray and said it's early-stage patellofemoral arthritis, but there's no specific treatment just some physio. Can you guide me on what I should and shouldn't do in my daily life to manage this better?

Avoid stairs, high-impact tasks; strengthen quads, wear proper footwear‚Äîweight loss also helps knee arthritis.
