My mom has been dealing with a lot of knee pain because the gel between her joints has dried up. She can barely walk a little before needing to sit down, and going upstairs is really tough for her. She's also overweight for her height, and I'm hesitant about knee replacement surgery because the recovery time is so long. What's the best way to manage her condition? Can you suggest a good doctor or clinic in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai for her?

For knee pain due to joint gel loss, weight management, physical therapy, and injections like hyaluronic acid can help. Consult a knee specialist in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai for non-surgical options and second opinions on knee replacement.

I've been having this shifting back pain for a while now. Sometimes it's below my right shoulder, other times it's above my waist or even right on the waist. It's not unbearable but definitely bothersome. I've tried using Crocine Advance, Move ointment, and Fast Relief but they haven't really helped. I usually take Bcosule Z and Atenol50, and for the past month, I've been on Ostocalcium. Should I be worried or try something different? What could be causing this shifting pain?

It sounds like your back pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues, posture, or even early signs of bone health concerns like osteoporosis. The calcium you're taking is a good step, but a full evaluation by a doctor (likely a orthopedic specialist, or neurologist,physiotherapist) is recommended to get to the root of the problem and receive appropriate treatment. Make sure to continue with gentle stretching, focus on posture, and consider physical therapy if the pain continues. If the pain worsens or new symptoms develop, its important to consult a specialist for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about this persistent neck pain I've had for the past three days. It's spread to my shoulders and sometimes even to my head, which really bothers me. I saw my primary physician, and I'm on some medication now. But this morning, I noticed my shoulders seemed a bit swollen, and there's this strange, hard muscle on the left side of my neck, right below my ear. It's not a visible lump, doesn't move, and isn't painful, but it's strange. Could it be a muscle issue? Oh, and I've had a common cold and a bit of cough at night, but no vomiting or fever. What do you think is going on?

it can swollen lymph nodes can be due to common cold
