Cracked Her Vertibrae In Her Back, Are There Other Alternatives Of Back Surgery ?

My friend had a child a few years back and received 2 epidurals. neither of them worked for her and they actually cracked her vertibrae in her back. It hurts to the point of her not being able to walk but she is too afraid to get surgery because she says anaesthesia doesn't work on her. Are there other alternatives ?

Hi,
Thanks for query,
There is no option except surgery.
This is her wrong thinking that anaesthesia wont work.
Ok and bye.
