Living in a 20-story apartment building, I use the stairs twice a day as exercise that's 40 floors or around 500 steps. It's convenient for me as a working mom, but people keep warning me it could lead to knee replacement issues later. Is climbing stairs really that bad for my knees? Could it cause long-term damage?

Question

I've been dealing with neck pain for a couple of months now. Sometimes it eases up, but then it just comes back after a few days. At first, I thought maybe it was from sleeping in a bad position. I'm really starting to get concerned. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

Question

I had leg surgery twice but still have a lot of pain. Most doctors say my leg is very weak is there any chance to fix it or improve the condition?

Question

I had surgery for a calcaneum fracture in my left leg one and a half months ago with 4 K-wires inserted and have been on a fiber plaster since then. I can move around with a walker but now the K-wires need to be removed. Will I have to get admitted to the hospital again for another surgery to take them out?
