I had titanium plate surgery for a tibia and fibula fracture 4 months ago but now my leg is swollen and red. My orthopedic surgeon recommended removing the plate. What could be causing this and is removal the only option?

Swelling and redness at the site of a titanium plate implant, four months after surgery, can indicate several possibilities, including infection, a reaction to the implant, or a problem with the bone healing process. Removal of the plate might be recommended by your surgeon, but it's not always the only solution; other options could be explored

I'm really struggling with sitting on a chair for more than 8 hours a day. It's causing me some heavy lower and upper back pain, and on top of that, I'm experiencing shortness of breath pretty frequently. I've spoken to a few doctors, and they've suggested B12 for the back pain and some gastric tablets for the breathing issues, but I still haven't seen much improvement. I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice on what else I could try or what might be going on?

continue b12 and tablet zerodol for 5 days,twice a day
