I have stage 2 avascular necrosis in my left femoral head and heard homeopathy might help cure it without surgery Has anyone actually recovered this way or are there other non-surgical options that worked for people
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Homeopathy may help symptoms, but there's no strong evidence it can reverse avascular necrosis. Core decompression or stem cell therapy might help before joint replacement is needed.

View allIt's been four months since my fracture and I'm still using a walker. The x-ray shows a separate bone fragment will this heal on its own or will I need surgery to fix it?
Whether a separate bone fragment will heal on its own or require surgery depends on several factors, including the size of the fragment, its location, and whether it's causing any pain, functional limitations, or damage to nearby tissues. If it's been four months since the fracture and the fragment hasn't healed, it's possible that it's a non-union fracture, meaning the bone pieces haven't joined together. In these cases, surgery might be necessary to try to promote healing or remove the fragment.

My brother broke his leg bone into two or three pieces and already had surgery. Now the doctors are suggesting another surgery to insert a rod or plate. What's the difference between using a rod versus a plate for his bone and is one better than the other for his situation?
In fracture repair, rods and plates both serve to stabilize broken bones and aid in healing. Rods are typically inserted into the center of the bone, while plates are secured to the outside of the bone with screws. The best choice depends on the specific fracture, the location of the break, and the surgeon's preference

Living in a 20-story apartment building, I use the stairs twice a day as exercise that's 40 floors or around 500 steps. It's convenient for me as a working mom, but people keep warning me it could lead to knee replacement issues later. Is climbing stairs really that bad for my knees? Could it cause long-term damage?
Yes composite holistic excercise better than isolated load
