My brother has bone TB and has been on medication but has been bedridden for the past month. Some private doctors recommended surgery can he recover with just proper meds and a good diet or is surgery really necessary?

While proper medication and a good diet are essential for recovery from bone TB, surgery may be necessary in some cases, especially if the infection has caused significant damage or complications. It's crucial to follow the advice of your doctor and a healthcare professional, who can assess the specific situation and determine the best course of treatment for your brother.

My heels have been really hurting and the X-ray shows heel spurs. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?

Heel spurs are not typically treated surgically unless nonsurgical methods fail to relieve pain after a significant period, usually 9-12 months. Most people find relief from heel pain with non-surgical treatments like stretching, shoe inserts, and physical therapy
