I've been dealing with tailbone pain for 2 years and my X-ray shows an anterior subluxation of the coccyx. I've tried NSAIDs, sitz baths, coccyx cushions, and physiotherapy like IFT and ultrasound with no relief. I don't want to go for ablation, injections, or surgery at my age. Is internal manipulation by an experienced ortho specialist an option for this kind of coccyx issue? Looking for someone who's handled similar cases before

View alli broke my arm and the x-ray shows a fracture but im not sure if it needs surgery or can it heal on its own with just a cast or natural treatments
A fractured arm can heal naturally with proper medical treatment, often with a cast or splint. However, some fractures may require surgery to realign bone fragments or stabilize the fracture. Whether your fracture needs surgery or not will depend on the type, location, and severity of the break.

I'm starting to get some pain in my left knee whenever I walk about half a kilometer. I had a screw put in there at your hospital 7 years ago. I'm really curious if I should be looking into getting the screw removed or if it's okay to continue living with it. What's the best way to go about this?

My mom has been dealing with AVN in both hip joints for the past three months right hip at stage 4 and left at stage 3. She's 67 but otherwise healthy, no diabetes or BP issues. Some ortho doctors recommend surgery while others advise against it due to her age. She's managing at home with a walker and physiotherapy but has severe pain in the hip and under her legs. Is homeopathy a viable option for her condition?
While homeopathy may offer some pain relief or support for managing symptoms, it's not a primary treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially when surgery is being considered. It's crucial to prioritize the recommendations of her orthopedic doctors and focus on managing the pain and improving her mobility with physical therapy, weight management, and possibly surgery if deemed necessary
