View allit's been a year since my tibial plateau surgery with a 6 inch plate and I still get pain when standing for around 10 minutes - is this normal or should I be concerned about how it's healing?
It's understandable to be concerned about persistent pain after a tibial plateau fracture surgery, even after a year. While some degree of pain and stiffness is expected during recovery, prolonged pain warrants further evaluation. It's crucial to consult your surgeon or orthopedic specialist to determine the cause of your pain and discuss potential next steps.

I've been dealing with arthritis for 7 years and the pain is making movement really tough lately. Is hip replacement surgery safe for someone like me? I've been taking painkillers when needed is that okay or should I be careful about timing? Also, what's the approximate cost for this surgery and where's the best place to get it done? I'm considering physiotherapy too would that help before or after the surgery?
Hip replacement surgery is generally safe even for individuals with arthritis. Physiotherapy can help with pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation. Painkillers are fine in moderation, but consult your doctor about timing to avoid overuse. The surgery can cost anywhere from ‚Çπ1.5 lakh to ‚Çπ5 lakh, depending on the hospital.

My mom has been struggling with her weight and knee issues for a while now. She can't walk properly and has pain when she exerts herself, but otherwise just finds it hard to walk straight. It's been like this for two years is knee replacement the only option or are there other things we can try first?
No, knee replacement is not necessarily the only option for your mom's knee pain and weight issues. There are several other treatments and lifestyle changes that can help manage her pain and improve her mobility before considering surgery. A combination of weight management, exercise, physical therapy, and pain management strategies can be very effective.
