Low Back Goes Out
I am a 38 year old pharmaceutical representative and I occasionally get back spasms related to riding in my car and carrying things back and forth to doctors offices.

Broken Wrist / Weak Bones

Jock with a Worn Out Knee
I am a 45 year old ex-jock who badly injured my knee playing high school football. I have had it scoped several times for cartilage tears and “cleanouts” but I am now told that my x-rays show moderate arthritis. I’ve tried cortisone shots. I’ve been avoiding activities and sports and have gained considerable weight. They say I am too young for a knee replacement. What can I do? Are there any other options?
Hamstring Pull
I am an avid runner. Several months ago I pulled my hamstring muscle during sprint work. I seem to re-injure it every time I try to pick up the pace. Any suggestions?
