I've noticed a little pea-sized lump between my chest area and it sometimes comes with chest pain. I did some research online and think it might be the xiphoid process. I'm really concerned and wondering what's the best way to get it checked out. Also, if I need to have it removed, do you know what that kind of surgery might cost?

I've been using homeopathy for my fistula for 7 months but haven't seen any improvement. Should I consider surgery now or does homeopathy actually work for this? Has anyone been successfully treated for fistula with homeopathy by their doctor?
A fistula that isn't healing can be due to several factors, including persistent infection, incomplete drainage of abscesses, underlying medical conditions, or complications of surgery. In some cases, the fistula may be complex and require advanced treatment like setons to help drain the area and promote healing

I had surgery last month and still can't walk much because my stitches hurt. I've noticed I'm starting to gain weight since I'm not as active. What can I do to manage this without putting too much strain on my healing body?
To manage post-surgery weight gain during a period of limited mobility, focus on a healthy, balanced diet, monitor your calorie intake, and gradually reintroduce gentle movement as tolerated. Avoid overeating or consuming excessive sugary or fatty foods. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also help.
