A stone fell on my left shoulder and caused a wedge compression in D12 on June 17. Can you check my MRI reports and advise how to recover from this? Do I need surgery or will medicine and rest be enough?

My doctor recommended surgery and putting plates for my injury but I'm wondering if it can heal with just a plaster instead. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife

Whether your injury can heal with just a plaster or requires surgery and plates depends on the severity, location, and type of fracture. Surgery may be necessary for certain fractures, but not all fractures require surgery. Plaster casts can be effective for some fractures, but others may require more invasive treatments like surgery and plates.

My mom has been dealing with AVN in both hip joints for the past three months right hip at stage 4 and left at stage 3. She's 67 but otherwise healthy, no diabetes or BP issues. Some ortho doctors recommend surgery while others advise against it due to her age. She's managing at home with a walker and physiotherapy but has severe pain in the hip and under her legs. Is homeopathy a viable option for her condition?

While homeopathy may offer some pain relief or support for managing symptoms, it's not a primary treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially when surgery is being considered. It's crucial to prioritize the recommendations of her orthopedic doctors and focus on managing the pain and improving her mobility with physical therapy, weight management, and possibly surgery if deemed necessary
