Which is better for treatment a surgeon or a homeopathic doctor? Can medicines alone fix health issues without needing surgery? I'm worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first.

I fractured my leg over 15 days ago and just got my latest results. Can you take a look and tell me if I need surgery to fix the rod or if it's healing okay on its own?

My mom had knee surgery for a fracture and she has hypothyroidism but we didn't get her thyroid levels checked before the surgery was that really necessary or could it affect her recovery

Uncontrolled hypothyroidism can impact surgical recovery‚Äîthyroid function should ideally be checked pre-op.

6 weeks post ACL surgery and my physiotherapist keeps forcefully bending my knee during home visits, causing intense pain. He increases the bend every day with more pressure and also compresses my knee while elevating my leg from the ankle. Is this normal or is he being too aggressive with the recovery process?

Pain from physio should be tolerable; forceful passive bending early on may harm‚Äîconsider a second opinion.
