My 7.5-year-old son had femur surgery with a titanium wire implant and has fully recovered. I'm really nervous about anesthesia since he's had it three times in the last six months. Is it okay to leave the implant as it is or does it need to be removed?

I've been having some problems with my right leg for the past two months. I had a bad fall down the stairs, and my whole body weight landed on that leg, causing it to twist. I initially took some medications, and it felt better for a while, but now the pain is back. It mostly shows up when I walk, right below the knee, and sometimes affects the back of my ankle and knee. Occasionally, it even moves to my calf or thigh muscles. I'm feeling like my leg is weaker and stiffer, and I can't exert full pressure, which is making walking pretty tough. I also tried physiotherapy for a week, but it didn't seem to offer much relief. What would you suggest I do now? Would love some advice!
You can apply a topical pain relief gel like diclofenac (e.g., Voltaren Gel) to the affected areas to help with localized pain. In terms of improving strength and flexibility, you can try doing gentle stretching exercises for your calf muscles, thigh muscles, and ankle. Physical therapy exercises focusing on strengthening the muscles around the knee and ankle can also be beneficial. Make sure to do these exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist to prevent further injury. If the pain persists or worsens despite these measures, it would be advisable to follow up with an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation and possibly imaging studies like an MRI to assess the extent of the injury. They can provide a more targeted treatment plan tailored to your specific condition

I'm 25 years old and 163cm tall my dad is the same height. I've been seriously considering limb lengthening surgery or human growth hormone treatment to increase my height. I've always wondered how so many people end up tall even when their parents are short. Can you guide me on whether these options would work for me and what the risks might be?
Growth harmone in your body can be tracked by measuring the levels of IGF-1 in the blood.Also IGBP-3 test.This test can help diagnose a GH deficiency.Also endocrinologist opinion is advised for further management.
