How much for L4&L5 spine surgery?
You are referring to an operation on the L4 and L5 spine. These two areas are a part of your lower back. Sometimes people might need an operation there if they have severe back pain, weakness in the legs, or numbness. This is usually the cause of the herniated disc which presses on the nerves in the spine. The operation can help relieve the pressure on the nerves and thus, reduce the pain and other symptoms. It's good to discuss with a spine surgeon if this operation is the right choice for you.

Why is my left hip tight and posture changed?
You may have experienced a condition called Bell's Palsy, which causes facial muscle weakness and can affect your posture. Bell's Palsy is usually due to nerve inflammation that controls facial muscles, leading to symptoms like twitching, facial swelling, and difficulty closing your eyes or moving your mouth. While most cases heal on their own, it's important to monitor any new symptoms. Initially, your posture changes and tightness in your left hip were the main concerns. Stretching exercises can help improve your range of motion and correct your posture. Consulting a physiotherapist or orthopedist can help you manage these symptoms professionally.

What's next for my shoulder and knee pain?
Joint pain like this could be due to osteoarthritis, which is common in older people. As we age, the cartilage in our joints wears down, leading to discomfort. It's important to stay active to maintain flexibility and strength but avoid activities that make the pain worse. Gentle exercises like walking or swimming can help. Physical therapy can also teach you specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joints and improve mobility. Over-the-counter pain relievers might provide relief, but it's essential to consult with an orthopedist before starting any new medication.
