Question

I've been experiencing some pain in my left arm, mainly in the biceps, triceps, and forearm areas. Ive already done an ECG and a lipid profile test, and both came back normal.

Question

I'm a 30-year-old woman with stage 3 AVN in my right hip for the past 4 months. My ortho doctor has suggested a wait-and-watch approach or possible surgery later. The pain fluctuates some days it's bad, others not so much. Is surgery the only option or should I explore ayurveda or homeopathy alongside? What's the best way to manage AVN if I want to avoid surgery?
