I've been having pain at the base of my second toe for two months and the x-ray shows a cystic expansile lesion there labeled as possible enchondroma. How serious is this and what treatment options do I have? The report mentions it might need critical surgery - how long would recovery take if that's the case?

I'm really worried about my cuboid bone fracture. How long do you think it'll take until I can get back to my usual daily activities? Are there any special precautions I should be aware of during the healing process? And I would love to know what treatments would work best for this situation.

I've had this metal rod in my lower leg for about 5 years now. Everything's been okay until recently, when I started feeling a constant pain near the knee where the screw is fixed. I'm considering getting the rod removed, but I'm worried about whether my leg will end up weaker after the operation and how long the recovery will take. Any advice?
The recovery time can vary depending on individual factors, but typically it takes about 6-8 weeks for the bone to fully heal after the operation. To help with the pain and promote healing, your doctor may prescribe pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Additionally, to support bone health and strength during recovery, they may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure a successful recovery.
