Found out about this issue around 89 months ago but never had any pain or discomfort since then. Is surgery really necessary if there's no pain? Has anyone else had patients with a similar experience?

Question

My friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?

Question

I'm experiencing a sharp bee sting-like pain in my lower leg that lasts for just 1 or 2 seconds. I've felt this before a few months back, but it didn't stick around for long. Now, it seems to come and go more frequently and isn't going away. What could be causing these pains? Is there something I should be worried about?
