Hi, My mother is 72 years old. She have low back pain problem for last few years, but now she is getting too much pain while walking. If she gets pain while walking she stops/seats for while then she feels better and then she can walk again for another some distance. We have shown her case to orthopedic and neurologist. They said, for her condition two options are there one injection ( I dont know what kind of injection) and other is surgery. I am not sure (And I am not doctor also) , but it seems Neurogenic claudication. I am from Pune, India. what are the available treatments. I want to avoid surgery considering her age.If unavoidable, is there any risks in going for surgery. She is diabetic for past 11 years and also have BP.please help.
