My husband has been dealing with this really painful back issue for a year now. His MRI and X-ray show there's a gap between his L4 and L5 joints. He's been doing regular exercises and swimming, which helps sometimes, but the pain can still get really intense. We've seen doctors before, but we're desperate for a permanent solution. Any advice on what we can do?

Ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working or sitting or walking....Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water...Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight...Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down....Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement...take over the counter pain medications.. Consult nearest orthopedic surgeon they will do the needful.

my mom needs knee replacement surgery but she's really nervous about it how successful is this surgery usually and what are the chances of it working out well for her
Knee replacement surgery is generally very successful and can significantly improve quality of life for patients. Studies show that 90-95% of patients experience significant pain relief and improved function. Many patients are able to resume normal activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, and engaging in low-impact exercise

My mom had surgery 5 months ago and just started weight bearing as the doctor advised. Her recent x-ray shows one of the screws has moved slightly but the doctor said it shouldn't be an issue and told her to keep walking. Now she's feeling pain when she walks even though she hasn't really started walking properly yet. Is this normal?
Mild screw movement post-surgery is common but pain on walking suggests possible irritation—limit weight bearing and recheck X-ray or get second opinion.
