I'm 24 and have bow legs what's the estimated cost for surgery, how long does recovery usually take, and what are the success rates like? I'm a bit worried about the whole process and want to understand what to expect.

Surgical correction for bow legs (osteotomy) typically costs between ‚Çπ1.5 to ‚Çπ3 lakhs per leg in India, depending on the hospital and surgeon. Recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months, including physiotherapy. Success rates are high (over 90%) with proper post-op care. It's normal to feel anxious, but most patients are satisfied with the results.

Feeling a heavy head, especially after eating, can be uncomfortable. Given your blood pressure (BP) reading of 15090 mmHg, it's essential to address both concerns. However, I must emphasize that medication should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. _Possible Causes of Heavy Head_ 1. _High Blood Pressure_: Uncontrolled high BP can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness in the head. 2. _Digestive Issues_: Eating certain foods can trigger digestive issues, leading to a heavy head feeling. 3. _Dehydration_: Inadequate hydration can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness. _Lifestyle Changes_ 1. _Monitor and manage BP_: Work with your doctor to control your BP through lifestyle changes and medication. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration. 3. _Eat smaller, frequent meals_: Avoid heavy meals that can exacerbate digestive issues. 4. _Avoid trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that trigger digestive issues or headaches. _Medication (only under medical guidance)_ 1. _BP medication_: Your doctor may prescribe medication to help control your BP. 2. _Pain relief medication_: Over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be recommended for headaches.

I've been dealing with this back pain just below the waistline for the past three days. It started after I fell down three steps on the stairs. I tried using Volini, thinking it might help, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I'm starting to get really concerned. Could you shed some light on what's going on or suggest what else I might try?
