I'm a 30-year-old woman with stage 3 AVN in my right hip for the past 4 months. My ortho doctor has suggested a wait-and-watch approach or possible surgery later. The pain fluctuates some days it's bad, others not so much. Is surgery the only option or should I explore ayurveda or homeopathy alongside? What's the best way to manage AVN if I want to avoid surgery?

While total hip replacement is often necessary for stage 3 AVN, it's not always the first step. A wait-and-watch approach, along with other non-surgical options like physical therapy and modified activity, can be considered initially. Ayurveda and homeopathy may offer complementary approaches for pain management and overall well-being, but should not replace conventional medical treatment

I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

I've been diagnosed with lytic lesions in my foot and had an X-ray done. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm a bit unsure and would like a second opinion. Can you review my case and let me know if surgery is the best option or if there are other treatments I should consider?
