Crumbling Spine, Broken Back. What S The Cure?
Hello there, my father has a crumbling spine following an un diagnosed broken back when he was much younger, he is currently taking Co-Dydramol and Tramadol but do not know in what quanties, he used to have injections into the spinal to kill the nerve ends but not now as the pain was to severe he can only just about walk now but has to stop every few steps because of the pain, are there any stronger pain killers that he can take.
Thank you

hallo dear friend
was there any fracture in your spine
you need to take a fresh x ray of your spine
if any disc space narrowing is there you may need MRI spine
MRI spine give important details, there can be lumbar canal stenosis
mean while take rest , take some analgesic -nerve pain relever like tryptomer or pregabalin, hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back
slowly you can start spine extension exersizes
