My mom has had chronic back pain for the past 10 years and her doctor recommended spine surgery but we're unsure about it and want a second opinion from another specialist. What are the alternatives to surgery or should we go ahead with it?

View allSo, I was playing badminton yesterday and ended up twisting my ankle at a weird angle, and now it's pretty swollen. It's not hurting too much, but the swelling is definitely noticeable. What should I do to take care of it? I'm not sure if it's serious enough to see a doctor. Do you think I really need to get it checked out?
Although the injury may not seem severe, it's important to see a doctor if: Pain increases or becomes sharp. You have difficulty walking or bearing weight on the ankle. Theres a change in skin color or you notice severe bruising. The swelling does not decrease after 48 hours or gets worse.

Here's a rephrased version that meets your criteria: *I just got my x-ray results showing a broken bone. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other options? Really worried about what comes next.* This keeps it natural, drops formalities, and focuses on the concern without sounding robotic.
It's understandable to be worried when you hear about a broken bone. Surgery isn't always the only option, and many fractures can be treated with less invasive methods. Your doctor will consider the type of fracture, its location, and your overall health when determining the best treatment plan.
