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.
My mother is suffering from leg pain. I think I started in her back. She is unable to sit down, and she has to lay down to get relief. She has been to so many doctors and have taken so much medication nothing have given her any relief. What can she try to do to get relief?
Hello, I have studied your case. I think that she might be having disc herniation with nerve compression in the back leading to leg pain. I would suggest you to get spine MRI to see how bad is the nerve compression. According to that she will need physiotherapy and medicines. Tablet Pregabalin and methylcobal one daily. Also if there is more than fifty percent compression and medicines are not effective than you might think of surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you.let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
