I've been dealing with cervical issues for about a year now with symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, occasional numbness in my hands, and headaches. Can bone spurs be removed through surgery and how safe is the procedure?

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.

My dad has a large 12 x 8.5 x 7 cm thin-walled cystic lesion filled with fluid in his right upper back between the scapula and spine near the trapezius muscle. The MRI showed no chest involvement. What's the best treatment for this can it be drained with a needle or does it need surgery? Also, which specialist should we see for this?

Four months ago on May 8th, I had an accident that broke the bone in my polio-affected leg. The doctor did surgery and inserted a rod from my thigh bone to the knee with screws. Now my bones are healing and I've started walking, but I can't bend my knee at all. I've been doing wax therapy and some exercises, but it's still really hard to bend. What treatment would help me get my knee movement back?

I've been having this chest pain ever since I fell a couple of days ago. It hurts when I move or do things like cough or sneeze, and I can't seem to find a comfortable position to sleep on either side. Should I be worried about this, and do you think I should get it checked out?

Ecg,cardiac markers and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
