Sorry I m slow on this PC.I have a lot of back pain; with sharp pains down my leg on one side. I do have adhesions real bad. I had opertions when I was real young in my 20 s. I m 69 years old. Is it better to fine a good doctor & have them operate on me before I get much older? This is gettings pretty bad, & I have RA.

As you have mentioned in your history that you are suffering from RA as well as your age is 69 years, both the factors have its own impact as far as back pain is concerned. You just have to take calcium supplements like tab shalcal 500 mg or tab toscal-gem once daily after meals along with some pain killer like tab akilos-p or tab ultracet twice daily after meals with tab rantac or tab famotid twice daily before taking meals. As you are too old I suggest you to take pain killer not on regular basis but only when your back pain is unbearable or disturbing your routine activities. Apart from these you can also use volini gel or relaxo gel for local application. It is also quite beneficial in relieving back pain and provide you some comfort.
