I have myositis ossificans in my left elbow and I'm really worried about the treatment options. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other alternatives? Also, can you recommend a good elbow surgeon in Bangalore who specializes in this condition?

Myositis ossificans is often managed conservatively, with surgery reserved for severe cases that don't respond to other treatments. Conservative treatment typically includes rest, ice, elevation, activity modification, pain relief medications, and physical therapy. Surgery may be considered if the bony growth is causing significant pain, limitations in range of motion, or nerve compression
