My mother aged 67, is suffering from osteporosis of the feet and also tiny holes are present in the bones. Extra ununiform growth
has taken place in the feet and there are tiny holes also in the feet bones.She had had a feet operation 25 years ago and the bones were wrongly set and never rectified.Carelessness resulted in bones growing in disproportionate angles.She now is on Homeopathy medicines which has given a certain amount of relief, but not cured. The pain is excuciating during periods when the bone grows and it subsides after the growth stops, only to come back after a month.Should she go for a surgical operation
to rectify this state permanently? Or can surgery be dangerous at this age?Can it turn cancerous?Can the upper femur bones be damaged slowly, if this is not treated?
