I've been dealing with this recurring pain for years and seen multiple doctors but no one has been able to fix it properly. Every 3-4 months I get these horrible flare-ups where I can't move at all due to severe pain in my right hip, lower back, and what feels like nerve compression making me want to cut my leg off. Painkillers are the only thing that helps me function. I'm considering surgery but worried if it'll actually give me permanent relief or not

I fractured my ankle with both linear and oblique fractures and a mild dislocation will I need surgery or can plaster treatment fix this? I'm worried about the best way to heal properly

Whether you need surgery or a plaster cast depends on the severity of your ankle fracture and the extent of the dislocation. A mild dislocation might be treated with a cast or boot, while a more severe fracture and dislocation could require surgery to realign the bones and ligaments. Consulting with an orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the best treatment plan for your specific injury
