Should I consider surgery for this or can it heal with medication? What medicines would you recommend for my condition?
The need for surgery versus medication depends entirely on your specific condition. A doctor needs to diagnose your condition and assess its severity before recommending a treatment plan. Depending on the diagnosis, medications may be sufficient, or surgery might be necessary. Common pain medications include NSAIDs, opioids, and local anesthetics, but these should only be taken under a doctor's supervision.
