My 80-year-old diabetic uncle fell from his bed and now has swelling on his left thigh. The X-ray shows a fracture. Can this heal without surgery or is surgery necessary? At his age and with diabetes, is surgery even safe for him?

View allI'm a 25-year-old woman, 54 inches tall and weigh 50 kg. My wrists are very thin with visible nerves, and my hands are overall slender. The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery? Should I see an orthopedist, dietitian, or cosmetic surgeon for this issue?

I've had this small lump near my elbow for about three years now. It's about 2cm and gets painful if I press on it. I'm noticing it might be slightly bigger, but it's still not really visible to others. Do you think I should consider surgery for this?
It sounds like the lump might be a benign growth like a cyst or lipoma, especially if it's been there for years and is causing mild pain. Since it's growing in size and causing discomfort, its best to consult with a doctor to assess whether surgery is necessary.
