I had tibia bone surgery 4 years ago with a titanium rod inserted, but now I'm feeling some pain in my leg and walking with a limp even though the X-ray shows everything looks fine. Could there be a reaction to the rod or any other reason for this pain? What could be causing this?

I've had this small lump near my elbow for about three years now. It's about 2cm and gets painful if I press on it. I'm noticing it might be slightly bigger, but it's still not really visible to others. Do you think I should consider surgery for this?

It sounds like the lump might be a benign growth like a cyst or lipoma, especially if it's been there for years and is causing mild pain. Since it's growing in size and causing discomfort, its best to consult with a doctor to assess whether surgery is necessary.
