Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Possible Causes_

1. _Pimple or acne_: A pimple on the breast can cause a bump, and the white layer on top might be a pustule.
2. _Blocked milk duct_: If the bump is near the nipple, it could be a blocked milk duct, which can cause a lump or bump.
3. _Breast abscess_: Although rare, a breast abscess can cause a painful lump, but in this case, your wife mentioned it doesn't hurt.
4. _Other skin conditions_: Other skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or keratosis pilaris can also cause bumps on the breast.

_Concerns and Next Steps_

1. _Bleeding_: The presence of blood is a concern and requires medical attention.
2. _Infection risk_: The broken skin and bleeding increase the risk of infection.
3. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist or a breast specialist, to evaluate the bump and provide a proper diagnosis.

_Precautions_

1. _Keep the area clean_: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.
2. _Avoid squeezing or popping_: Refrain from squeezing or popping the bump, as this can lead to infection or scarring.
3. _Monitor for signs of infection_: Watch for increased redness, swelling, pain, or pus, and seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.

I've been having pain in both hips, mostly around the groin area. Got an X-ray and MRI done, but my doctor is recommending surgery. Wondering if there are other options or if surgery is really necessary? The pain's been bothering me a lot and I'm not sure what to do next.
