The symptoms you have mentioned can be suggestive of osteomyelitis which is an infection of the bone. I recommend you to see an orthopedist immediately for a proper diagnosis and a therapy plan.

My mother has a small tumor on her elbow is it possible cancer?

Female | 48

There’s an urgent need for an expert like an orthopedic surgeon or an oncologist to inspect the tumor on your mother's arm. Not all tumors develop into cancer, so a thorough investigation is necessary to avoid any malignancy. Once it is confirmed that cancer is present, treatment alternatives can be explored.

I have knee issues and wanted to know when I want to go to bed if wearing diapers is a good idea or not

Male | 31

At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.
