View allI've had a painful bone spur in my elbow for 7 years and might need surgery how much would it cost to remove it? The pain is really bothering me and I'm curious about the expenses.
Unless it causing problems- don’t have it removed. Share the x rays. It will cost around Indian rupees 50000 rupees . If use anchors it will be around 80000 rupees. Cost varies depending on the hospitals

I've had a completely dissolved left hip joint for the past 13 years, which has made my left leg about one and a half inches shorter than my right. I just had a baby via C-section and am currently breastfeeding. When would be a safe time for me to get hip replacement surgery? Walking has become really difficult for me lately.
If you have recently delivered a baby through C section, you should wait for atleast three months to allow the body to recover. Even after three months, your blood tests and other investigations should be done and surgery should be performed only if you are medically fit for the same. Hip replacement is not an emergency and is an elective procedure. When performed by a Joint replacement surgeon/ Fellowship trained Orthopaedic surgeon, you will get excellent long term results.
