View allMy uncle who's 52 and works in the fire brigade had a tree branch fall on him three days ago, breaking two of his lower ribs. He doesn't have any other medical conditions. What's the best way for him to heal without needing surgery?
For a 52-year-old with fractured ribs, conservative treatment is generally recommended. This involves rest, pain management, and gentle breathing exercises to promote healing without surgery. A doctor can confirm the fracture and assess the need for imaging and pain relief.

I had surgery in 2014 where they removed all stitches and put a metal rod in my leg. The operated area is dry now, but there's still a small hole where fluid leaks out sometimes. I can't walk or stretch properly because my leg feels stiff, and there's nerve pain. The fluid leakage stops and starts randomly what could be causing this and should I be worried?
Persistent drainage and stiffness post-orthopedic surgery may indicate chronic infection or hardware issues—seek reevaluation.

I've been told my L1L2 and L3L4 disc space is mildly reduced with early degenerative changes should I be worried about this getting worse as I get older? Could this turn into a serious issue down the line, and would I ever need surgery for it?
Mild disc space reduction may not progress quickly. Lifestyle changes, physio, and monitoring help. Surgery is only needed if symptoms worsen significantly.
