FAQI've heard that drinking regular soda pop can give you gout. Is that true? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQMy brother and I have both lost our spouses and live together now in our older years. He's developed some gout and refuses to see a doctor for it. Says it will go away on its own. Is this true? Should I insist that he get some kind of treatment? I don't know what to do. Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQMy father is scheduled to have a spinal fusion operation next week. He seems to be in fairly good health, but we are concerned that this could end up a disaster. We've seen so many other older adults have some type of surgery and never fully recover to their former selves. We'd hate to see that with Dad. How can we even evaluate something like this?

FAQDoes it make sense to you that a 80-year-old grandmother would need surgery to fuse her spine? She's so stiff, I doubt her spine even moves. But the surgeon is recommending a spinal fusion for a condition they call degenerative spondylolisthesis. What can you tell me about this? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia that may be part of a posttraumatic stress disorder. I'm not usually one to take medications but my physician is encouraging me to consider this as a way to get started. Can you tell me a little bit about the different drug choices? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI am seeing an internal specialist to try and find out what's causing my muscles and joints to ache so. I'm stiff, tired, don't sleep well, and I've lost my appetite. She tells me it might be fibromyalgia because my tests all came back normal. What if it is fibromyalgia? What happens then? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQIf I have the surgeon do a microfracture procedure on my knee, how will I know if it takes? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI'm wondering something about a unilateral knee replacement. It's been almost a year since I had this procedure done on my right leg, and I still can't go up and down stairs easily. Will this gradually get better? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQAre there any exercises that can help me regain my balance when I stumble? I had a unilateral knee replacement (implant goes just on one side) about six months ago and I'm having the most trouble with this. Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI've been going to a rehab facility for training after having an ACL repair on my left knee six weeks ago. I'm very eager to get back into full sports participation (I'm on the volley ball team and cross country in college). I notice my therapist does an entirely different program with me than the other therapist in the clinic does with her patients. I'm wondering if I'm in the better group -- or if the other type of therapy would advance me faster. How do I go about finding out? Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI probably should have asked this question before I had surgery, but how well does the microfracture method of knee cartilage repair work? Will it last the rest of my life? (I'm 44 years old). Matt04 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI need a little advice. I'm 42-years-old and I tore my ACL skiing. I'm pretty much ready to hang it up anyway, so I'm wondering if I really need to do all the exercises the therapist has given me. I just don't want to work that hard but I'm a little embarrassed to say so. Matt04 weeks 2 days ago

FAQI am one of many silent sufferers. With chronic low back pain, I've made the rounds of chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, and massage therapists with little to show for it except an empty wallet. Is any thing being done in this country for people like us? There has to be a way out of this prison of pain. Matt05 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI took an on-line survey that was supposed to help a well-known pain clinic understand my pain and help design a special pain management program just for me. The test took all of 90 seconds. How can they possibly have enough information to know what I need? Matt05 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI didn't want to sound like a dummy in the doctor's office but what's the big deal about repairing a torn meniscus instead of just cutting it out? It's killing me and I just want it gone. The surgeon insists that we must try and save the cartilage if at all possible. I'm 66-years old and I'm not planning any marathons. Matt05 weeks 2 days ago
FAQI was limping along (literally) for quite a while before my doctor examined me and said I have a torn medial meniscus in my knee. I'm a senior citizen and no athlete. How did this happen? I'm not involved in any sports or athletics of any kind. Matt05 weeks 2 days ago
