Hello I have studied your case. You may need treatment for spine ,hip and lymph edema. You may need weight reduction and then spine decompression and then with hip replacement. Lymph edema can be treated with laser treatment. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
