OSTEOID OSTEOMA FEMORIS CAPITIS with picture

i am 43 years old (nurse) and i had pains untill 15 years ago
the last time i was to doctor was before 3 years and he gave me this diagnose and told me that this is a rare and difficult surgery
and he suggested to me not to make the surgery for now until it become worse
but i fell a lot of pain especially at the night (but you probably know the sympthoms)
so if someone experienced is reading this please tell me what to do?
i want surgery to be the last thing i will do but if that is the only way i will do it
what about laser surgery
and what are the risks if i do a surgery
i will attach also one picture

surgery should be done first, residual symptoms can be fighten with meds

[svetlana_janeva]

what kind of surgery doctor ?
i have it on both femoral head as you can see from the picture?

classical surgery or radiofrequency ablation ?

[Nassim Abi Chahine, MD]

Dear Svetlana, definitely radiofrequency is better, and I think the nearby german experience is the most adequate for you, via this technique the solution is really easy.. how salicylic acid [aspirin] did work ?

[svetlana_janeva]

well the aspirin helps a bit but not always
i want to get off that pain once and for all
i am tired for all these years and i am afraid the tumor will grow and complicate

can they burn the tumor on both legs at the same time or first on one and after a period of time on the other leg? will i be able to walk normally?
can everything be done with 1 going to Germany?
are they any risk or it is safe procedure

sorry too much question but i am a little bit scared
