Shattered disc(s)-osteoporosus

My sister has been told all of her discs in her back are shattered and she has osteoporosus.
She’s been told there’s nothing she can do for this condition.
Is this true? Are there any treatments or books you can refer me too related to these conditions? Thank you, Concerned Sister

perfect bed for imperfect back?

Hi! My fiance and I are mattress shopping for the best bed for his back. He’s got a torn rotator cuff (from a construction accident)PLUS a lower back with 3 disks over 50% degenerated (from a car accident). Is there a certain kind of mattress you would recommend? Are those sleep number beds all they’re cracked up to be? What about the posture-pedic? Right now he’s sleeping on an old mattress and he hasn’t had a restful night’s sleep for about 5 months!

NECK PAIN

my neck has been hurting for last three days. At first I thought I was just tense but now it hurts when I try to move my neck to the right. From the very begining only the right side was hurting. When I woke up yesterday I was afraid to move because I thought I would cause some major tramam to my neck. I don’t know if its the way I sleep or if my neck is just stiff. It is still hurting, and it is kind of painful for me to perform my usually daily activities. If I try to work out I think I might scream.

Partner’s lopsided back

My partner (who is 28 years old) has injured his back twice in the past leaving him bedridden for weeks due to lifting as he has a manual job and he now seems to have a slightly lopsided back. When he walks in front of me you can see that his right shoulder is lower than the left although when I tell him he can stand straight? He attends a gym twice a week to try to keep fit but is slightly overweight. His back is worrying me and I don’t know whether he should see a doctor or a chiropractor?
