Having my gallbladder removed - will my life be different after?
Most of the patients recover fully without dietary restrictions. Rarely few patients will develop pain like GB stones because of the stone in the duct from the liver to small bowel, which can be removed by an expert endoscopist. READ MORE
I had back surgery. Should I see a chiropractor or avoid it?
I have no recommendation. If you are recovering well, then hope for the best. READ MORE
Can a colostomy bag ever be removed?
Depends upon the site on the abdominal wall. Check with your surgeon whether it was temporary or permanent. If there is no obstruction, it may be connected through anus by a colorectal surgeon. READ MORE
Post joint replacement
I would recommend a well-trained physical therapist. Your orthopedist would have one in his team. READ MORE
I have pain in the inguinal hernia surgery wound. Is re-surgery necessary?
It is possible that you have developed inguinal nerve entrapment due to adhesions or some other reasons. If there is no recurrence of tiny hernia, you can get a nerve block as a temporary relief and get post injection assessment by your surgeon. READ MORE
