Suggest Treatment For Back Pain And Numbness In Leg
Well, my spouse suffers from severe back pain due to many injuries throughout life and the hard work he did for many years. He can be sitting still and break out in a severe sweats...his forehead is actually beaded up with sweat and his back and chest are also wringing wet. He runs out of energy and is done by 4:30ish pm for the day. He has taken pain pills for years. Tries hard to not take them. At times, his right leg has become numb and there are times where he gets a shot or pinch through his lower back that stops him in his tracks, and almost buckles. He knows has an inversion table which he says instantly relieves the back pain. What else can we do to help him have less pain so it is tolerable?
