My mom had surgery 5 months ago and just started weight bearing as the doctor advised. Her recent x-ray shows one of the screws has moved slightly but the doctor said it shouldn't be an issue and told her to keep walking. Now she's feeling pain when she walks even though she hasn't really started walking properly yet. Is this normal?

Mild screw movement post-surgery is common but pain on walking suggests possible irritation—limit weight bearing and recheck X-ray or get second opinion.

A ganglion cyst on your forearm that swells and causes discomfort when lifting heavy things, but doesn't hurt when pressed, can be treated with aspiration or surgery. Aspiration involves draining the fluid from the cyst, which can provide temporary relief. Surgery is an option if aspiration fails or if the cyst is causing significant problems
