My mom's been told she needs surgery for osteoarthritis are there other treatments we could try first? I'm worried about the risks and recovery time, so I'd like to know if things like physical therapy, meds, or injections might help instead. What options should we consider?

I've been dealing with a sprained ankle for about 18 days now and there's still some swelling. I saw an ortho who checked the X-rays and said there's no fracture, just a sprain. He gave me Dolanzen and Lormoto for two weeks. The pain's better, but I'm still having trouble walking and there's some swelling left. How long does it usually take to fully heal from a sprain like this? Do you think the meds I'm on are okay? What can I do to get rid of the remaining swelling?
Yes there is cure for that visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management
