My mom's doctor recommended knee surgery but I'm not sure when it's really needed or at what age it's usually advised. Are there certain signs that make surgery necessary? Also, could Ayurveda help avoid surgery for knee problems?

View allI've been having mild pain in my left inner elbow and forearm, especially after using my phone or laptop for a while. I already have ulnar nerve subluxation in my right elbow and surgery is planned for that, but this left side pain is different no tingling or subluxation, just discomfort that eases with massage. Could this be related to overuse or something else I should be concerned about
The mild pain in your left inner elbow and forearm, especially after using your phone or laptop, could be related to overuse or a similar condition to your right elbow's ulnar nerve subluxation, but without the tingling or subluxation. While it's different from your right elbow, it's still worth investigating. Since it eases with massage, it may be a less severe form of nerve irritation or muscle strain. However, it's wise to consult with a doctor or physical therapist to rule out other potential issues and get personalized advice.

I have Potts spine at D4 and D5 with TB and got two different opinions one doctor recommends surgery to remove fluid first then TB meds while another says just medication would work what's the best approach for my case
The optimal approach for spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) at D4 and D5, with the presence of fluid and differing opinions, depends on the severity of your case, the extent of spinal cord compression, and the presence of abscesses. Both surgical and medical management have a role, and the decision should be made by a multidisciplinary team of experts, considering your specific situation
