Accident in jan 2012.Now she is suffering from chronic low back ache.This may be due to various causes like disc prolapse,fractures,subluxation/dislocations of the spine etc.U just mentioned there is a increased gap in MRI.It would be better if u could atleast message the mri conclusion report.With out any reason no doctor suggests surgery.If u have any doubt regarding this, nothing wrong in getting a second opinion from another neurosurgeon.Pls first get another doctor opinion n then think of yoga/exercise as these still aggravate the problem if there is severe disc prolapse/fracture.
