Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i need a consultation about nerve problem. Its about a 70 year old diabetic male person, having pain in the waist area. The initial examine by doctors said nerve is suppressed by a bone in the waist area. Now the problem is doctor is suggesting to cure this by medicine as surgery for diabetic patient will invite other problems. Can you suggest any special treatment to go for?
