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?

my doctor suggested biovisc injections for my shoulder joint gap instead of surgery does this treatment actually work or should i consider other options

These injections work by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid, which can reduce pain and improve mobility, but they don't address the underlying cause of the joint gap.

I have a ganglion cyst and it doesn't really hurt much but I'm worried it might get bigger. Do I need surgery or can medicine or injections stop it from growing? What should I do about it?

A ganglion cyst that isn't painful may not require immediate treatment, but it's worth monitoring for any changes in size or symptoms. If it starts causing pain, hindering movement, or growing, options like aspiration (draining the fluid) with or without a steroid injection, or surgery to remove the cyst, may be considered.
