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?

my father has stage 3 osteoarthritis in both knees and the doctor said knee replacement is the only option is this really necessary or are there other treatments we can try first

For stage 3 osteoarthritis, knee replacement is often recommended if non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy, medications, or injections no longer relieve pain. However, other options like hyaluronic acid injections or stem cell therapy may also help.

How much would it cost to get the plate removed from my humerus in a private hospital? It's been almost two years since the surgery and I'm wondering if it's time to take it out what's the usual price range for something like this?

It is not necessary to remove the plate unless causing problem to you. Cost varies between Hospital to hospital. Consult orthopaedic doctor. It is approximately 30 to 60 thousands

I broke my tibia and fibula a while ago and now one leg is 2cm shorter than the other. I've been using a shoe wedge to balance it out, but I was offered leg extension surgery with a cage that could take up to 9 months to heal. Is it worth going through all that for just 2cm?

Leg extension surgery is a significant procedure, and considering the 2cm difference, it may not be necessary unless the imbalance severely affects your daily activities or posture. Discuss non-surgical options with an orthopedic specialist.
