Good afternoon, I have been having waist pain frequently in the past few weeks. Yesterday I was having muscle pull consistently for several hours intermittently

Male | 53

It appears that you have recently been having some lower back pain as well as muscle pulls. These could be due to things like bad posture, overworking yourself or even just pulling a muscle while making a sudden move. To reduce your discomfort, try doing some gentle stretches, using warm packs, and resting when necessary.

Female | 18

The symptoms you are experiencing could be a sign of a Frozen Shoulder which is when the tissue in your shoulder becomes thicker and tighter than normal. A physical therapist can suggest some exercises that will help improve your range of motion while reducing discomfort.

Im a female 33 years old i suffer from scoliosis since birth and ive done 3 operation the last one was in 2004 which caused injury to my spinal cord. I can feel and walk with crutch and i can take one or two step without support, my right leg is more affected than my left. I read that only injuries less than one year or 2 is perfect for stem cells, my injury is 20 years old. Would it be possible for the stem cell therapy to work in my case ? Thank you

Female | 33

You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

By looking at your MRI results, and I understand your concern about the pain and limited motion in your shoulder. The report shows some significant findings, like a full-thickness re-tear of your rotator cuff and a dislocated bicep tendon. These issues could be causing your discomfort and restricted movement. Now, what we can do next is discuss treatment options. Surgery might be necessary to address the re-tear and bicep tendon dislocation. Physical therapy could also help improve your shoulder function post-surgery. You have schedule a follow-up with an orthopedist to delve deeper into your treatment plan.
