I'm really concerned about my mom's upper left arm pain, which is just above her elbow and below her shoulder. It's not super severe, but its enough to disturb her sleep. She used to have pain in her elbow joint, but thankfully that got better. She thinks its because she's not a stomach sleeper and tends to sleep with her arms under her body, but she can't seem to change her sleeping position. She doesn't have any health issues; her blood pressure's usually normal, and her sugar levels were checked last October 2015, along with her Vitamin B12 and D3 levels, which were low at the time. She took the prescribed tablets then but isnt on any medication now. What could be causing this, and should we be doing something differently?

I would advice to undergo Vitamin D3 tests and Vitamin b12 again to know the values now.

I've had back pain for about a year now and my X-ray showed spondylolysis at L5-S1. I've heard about chiropractic care but I'm really not keen on surgery. What would you recommend as the best treatment option for this?

Core training and strengthening of back muscles play a major role in managing back pain. Dynamic stimulation therapy for strengthening of back muscles have shown good results in similar cases. It gives long lasting pain relief and also helps to arrest further degeneration.

I'm really worried about my MRI results showing a chronic partial ACL tear and this buckling happening at the back. It also mentions a small chronic grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the inferior meniscal surface. What should I be doing about this? Does this mean surgery is unavoidable, or are there other treatment options I should consider first? I'm just anxious about what this all means for my mobility and day-to-day activities.
