My mom had a knee replacement on both knees a couple of years back. She's 69 now and recently, over the last three months, her left ankle has been swelling up daily. It's concerning because she's also developed these black patches around the back of her ankle, and they've been itchy for about 15 days now. We've seen doctors and done some tests, but we're not getting any answers. The swelling's causing her a lot of pain, and she can't walk properly. Could you shed some light on what's going on here? Any insights you might have would be really appreciated.

View allI'm really worried about my husband's situation. He's dealing with uveitis, and every time he stops using his corticosteroids, the inflammation flares up again, so he has to go back on the meds. Right now, he's on dexamethasone, and he also has this HLA-B27 issue. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening?

My mom has had arthritis for 15 years and is on medication but hasn't had any surgery. What kind of home exercise equipment would be best for her would an elliptical or treadmill be okay for her condition?
For your mother, who has had arthritis for 15 years but hasn't had surgery, an elliptical trainer would be a better choice than a treadmill for home exercise. Ellipticals offer low-impact, which is gentler on the joints, especially important for people with arthritis

I'm really struggling with some health issues and could use some advice. Every time I get a cold or cough, I end up having trouble breathing, and it also triggers this back pain. Doing everyday things like washing clothes or standing for a while makes my back ache even more. When I have a cough, I can actually hear strange sounds and feel vibrations with my breath, which is worrying. I feel horribly sick, like my whole body is in pain, even when I'm just doing normal activities. Walking to work leaves my legs aching, and if I try something like dancing, my arms hurt like crazy. I'm just wondering what could be going on?
