Hello,

Surgery may be needed. I recommend consulting with an orthopedist and discussing about surgery. In the meantime, I would recommend trying Lyrica to help with the pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
