My husband is anemic. The dr. wants his number at 14 and it is 12 after taking iron pills and eating iron- rich foods. He is also dealing with siatica and a torn miniscus. He thinks he s falling apsrt at age 61. This is the first health issue he s had for any length of time.

hello
Hb level 12-15 is okay,yes iron rich green vegetables,banana,pomengranate,spinach will take care of mild borderline anemia....sciatica can be taken care by physical therapy,lumbo-sacral belt,back exercises, bd rest....torn meniscus can be treated with arthroscopic surgery by an arthroscopist by minimal invasive surgery
consult an orthopedic surgeon for this.torn meniscus is by abnormal stress or injury of knee usually twisting and shearing force , common with footballers.scitica is caused by osteoarthritis in spine with bone spurs outgrowths impinging nerve roots at intervertebral foramina .cause is degenerative disease of spine with advancing age,increased occupational stress
