Runner with Sore Achilles
I have been a runner for many years. I’ve recently noticed an area of swelling and pain over my achilles tendon behind my ankle. Can I still keep running?
Achy Kneecap
I started a step aerobics program and now I can’t go up or down steps at home because of pain in the front of my knee around my kneecap.
Bad Back
I was recently diagnosed with a herniated disc in my lower back after a lifting injury at work. I had pain in my back and also some minor discomfort in my right leg both of which have resolved. Will I need surgery?

Sore Shoulder
I enjoy weightlifting but have begun to experience pain in my shoulder with any overhead activity. It seems okay when I’m lifting but I have trouble sleeping at night and also the next day because of discomfort.
