Question

My mom has severe osteoarthritis and the doctor recommended knee replacement but we're hesitant to go for surgery. Is there any medicine that can help manage the pain without relying on painkillers? I heard about M1V711 but not sure if it's still approved and available. Also, can Cartigen Duo provide any relief for her condition? Looking for alternatives to reduce her pain.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with some pretty intense joint pain for the past two months. There's no fever, but the pain is tough for her to handle. I heard that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective for Chikungunya. Could you recommend any Ayurvedic medicine that's safe for her to take or other practices that might help? Also, would physiotherapy be a good option for her?

Question

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?
