Is it safe to use Terifrac to treat osteoarthritis?

Hello doctor,

My mother has been experiencing joint pains for a long time and had a knee replacement last year. During our consultation for a second knee, the doctor mentioned osteoporosis and suggested a Terifrac injection for a year. How can we be sure this injection will not have any negative effects, and how can we determine if my mother has osteoporosis or osteoarthritis?

Kindly help.

Why do I have wrist pain if I move it to extreme positions or if it is stressed?

Hi doctor,

I am a 19-year-old boy. I recently had a minor accident, and since then, I have been having a little pain in my right wrist when moving it to its extreme position. Also, just at the wrist joint (the place just near where a watch sits on the wrist), I can see one of my muscles a bit more than my left hand. The pain is only felt when moving the wrist to its extreme positions or when doing any pushing movement (any push form). Pain is not felt in day-to-day activities such as typing, writing, etc. Pain increases at the end of the day if the wrist is stressed more. I have been taking only painkillers recommended by a local doctor. I took an X-ray of the wrist, and the doctor said there was nothing to be worried about.
