My shoulder keeps dislocating over and over and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I consider surgery or are there other treatments that might help stop this from happening? It's getting really frustrating and painful.

If your shoulder keeps dislocating, you should consult with a doctor or orthopedic surgeon to discuss treatment options, which may include surgery. Non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and immobilization, are often tried first, but surgery may be necessary for recurrent dislocations or if the soft tissues stabilizing the shoulder are severely damaged

I had ACL reconstruction surgery using a hamstring graft from my own leg. Does the part where they took the graft grow back or heal completely? Will my hamstring ever be the same as before the surgery?

The donor site in hamstring graft heals but might not fully regain original strength; with rehab, function usually recovers well but may feel slightly different.

I'm really struggling with sitting on a chair for more than 8 hours a day. It's causing me some heavy lower and upper back pain, and on top of that, I'm experiencing shortness of breath pretty frequently. I've spoken to a few doctors, and they've suggested B12 for the back pain and some gastric tablets for the breathing issues, but I still haven't seen much improvement. I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice on what else I could try or what might be going on?

continue b12 and tablet zerodol for 5 days,twice a day
