I've been dealing with arthritis for 7 years and the pain is making movement really tough lately. Is hip replacement surgery safe for someone like me? I've been taking painkillers when needed is that okay or should I be careful about timing? Also, what's the approximate cost for this surgery and where's the best place to get it done? I'm considering physiotherapy too would that help before or after the surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is generally safe even for individuals with arthritis. Physiotherapy can help with pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation. Painkillers are fine in moderation, but consult your doctor about timing to avoid overuse. The surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ1.5 lakh to ‚Çπ5 lakh, depending on the hospital.

My 5-year-old has a meniscus tear with clicking sounds and discomfort but no locking. Their knee feels unstable should we consider surgery or try other options first?
For a 5-year-old with a meniscus tear causing clicking, discomfort, and knee instability, but without locking, a non-surgical approach is generally recommended as the first step. This typically involves rest, ice, and physical therapy to manage pain and improve knee function. Surgery might be considered if the tear is severe or if non-surgical treatments fail to provide sufficient relief.

I've been dealing with this really annoying pain in my tailbone for the last three months. It hurts whenever I sit down, but it's weird because if I press on the spot, there's no pain. I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?
