Hi Sir, My mom is 61 years old and is suffering from lower back pain lowering down to the legs. This is for past 8-9years wherein we took her to one of the neurosurgeon and he suggested to take the MRI in year 2008. We took MRI of my Mom (then 53 years old) and Doc suggested to go for operative procedure at neck first and then for back later. The neck surgery at C6-C7 was performed then in year 2008 and now my Mom complains that she is suffering badly from the back ache (during that time the MRI report suggested to have disc bulge at L4-L5 compressing the nerve). Please suggest me as what would be the good option for her to get rid of the critical problem she is having. Basically she suffers with this problem when she sits and wants to stand up OR when she wants to sit from standing position. Also, please let me know which department (like ortho, neuro, Ayurveda, acupuncture, acupressure, etc.) would be the good option to get the back pain treated permanently. You suggestion/advice would be of great help and she wants to get rid of the problem which is unbearable.
