Patient discussion about repairability.

Q. Can an aneurysm repair it self on her own? A friend of mine was diagnosed with an aneurysm. At first he was sure he is going to have a surgery, but afterwards his doctor told him he should get medical treatment. I don't understand - how come some people need a surgical repair while others just take medications? I know this is a serious condition that is life threatening can an aneurysm repair it self on her own? Or maybe when his doctor didn't recommend surgery he malpractices? the reason that I ask is that all the other people that I heard of that had an aneurysm had a surgery, and I don't really trust this doctor.

A. It is not clear where is the aneurysm. One's aneurysm can be in his thorax his abdomen his brain and so on. As far as I know most aneurysm are aortic, and there are guidelines about the treatment.
When my husband was diagnosed with an aneurysm, our physician told us we have to main treatment options, surgical and medical, and that he recommended the medical, because my husband might not survive the surgery.

Q. Can I ever get my normal eye sight back? I've been wearing glasses since I was about 6 or 7 years old and I'm really sick of it. I don't want contacts and I don't trust laser eye surgery. Is there a natural resource such as a food that I can eat regularly that will give me my old, none blurry, eye sight back?

A. Unfortunately, it seems that it isn't possible. The reason to your blurred vision is probably due to a mismatch between the size of your eyeball and the lens that focus the light in the eye. It is determined by many factors, and food doesn't seem to influence these things. The current options are what you already stated - so maybe you'd like to learn more about them and reconsider your opinion.

Anyway, I haven't examined you so all I've written was merely a general advice - you may want to consult an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) in order to explore your options.

Q. Can flat feet be repaired by surgery? I have flat feet and I’m looking for all sorts of treatments for it- I heard there is a surgery for it- is it helpful?

A. As far as I know- they don’t treat flat feet that are asymptomatic. So first of all check if it bothers you. secondly there are 2 kinds of flat feet- rigid and flexible. There are different and treated differently. Not always a surgery (which is very painful and costly) is needed– I went to a Rolf method therapist by the advice of my orthopedic and it’s much better now. Ask an orthopedic.
