How can I manage plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis effectively?

I’m 50 yrs old and have been suffering with planters fasciitis for years. It started after working at Home Depot. I seen an orthopedic back in 2002 ish, got an injection and was fine. I then left HD and came back yrs later. Now it’s back and I believe I’m also dealing with Achilles tendonitis. My mother who drove a bus for 30 yrs has also dealt with this for a very long time. She can barely walk and I’ve started limping. I don’t want this to slow me down but the doctors here in Wichita Falls are not much help and my mother hasn’t been able to get any relief in California or now in Arizona. My question is is there anything we can do. I have 6 kids, 3 of which are still in school. I can’t just slow down. And I hate seeing how miserably mother is. We are both taking Duloxitine, which helps sometimes. Besides surgery is there anything we can do?

Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis can be quite bothersome, but there are several ways to ease the pain. Try stretching exercises for your calves and feet, wear supportive shoes, use orthotic inserts, apply ice to reduce inflammation, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. It's also important to avoid activities that make the pain worse.

my brother is 28 years old, and he just had ACL surgery a month ago. I'm curious about what activities he can safely resume at this point. Can you provide some guidance on what's generally acceptable 1 month post ACL surgery for someone his age?

Male | 28

Now, your brother can begin with light exercises such as walking and stationary cycling. He should refrain from high-impact activities such as running, jumping or twisting until he finishes his rehabilitation program. It would be wise to ask his orthopedic surgeon or a physical therapist for more information on the recovery process and advice about activities that he can engage in without risk.

I often have pain at the back of my knee joint when l stand for a long time.How can l get help for this?

Female | 22

Hello
You can try Acupressure for your condition which is No Medicine- No Surgery therapy.
Pain in any area is due to blockages in the meridian.
Acupressure stimulator can help release this blockage.
Slight changes in diet will help to improve your condition quickly.
Cupping is equally useful.

I have a problem with my lower waist for years now

Male | 18

Back pain comes and goe­s. But hurting for years is very bad. It might mean you have­ muscles that are tight or weak. Poor posture­ or not exercising can cause this proble­m. Also, sit and stand up straight. Going to a physical the­rapist can give you exercise­s to make it better.

She fell off on her wrist which causes fracture

Female | 54

If you fall and break your wrist, you may end up with a fracture. In addition to hurting, the occurrence of welling can be felt. It may be difficult to move your wrist as well. The reason for this is that the bone was forced to bear so much weight that the bone practically shattered. The first step to get it to heal is to put it in a cast or a splint so the bone can repair itself gradually. It's important to keep your wrist relatively immobile until it gets well.

Why do I have loss of lumbar lordosis?

Male | 32

Loss of lumbar lordosis can be caused by various reasons such as mal-alignment of the spine, weak or unbalanced muscles, and obesity, as well as degenerative diseases such as arthritis. The symptoms may be back pain, stiffness, and discomfort. To address this issue, it is crucial to focus on strengthening the core muscles, keeping a healthy weight, and adopting good posture habits. Along with it, physical therapy and regular exercise can also be applied to help regain the neutral position of lumbar lordosis.
