What Is The Remedy For Back Pain After A Surgery?

my father is a 59 yr old man who has many health issues that have gone undiagnosed and affecs his evry day life to the point of him not being able to do everyday nessesities he stoped smoking about 6 yrs ago and started walking a couple miles a day.a few yrs later he started having back prblems wich led to back surgery.after the operation the back problem was still there with more pain,within months his legs also started hurting him to yhe point of him not being able to walk.when he has to leave the house he has to use a cainand can only stand for short periods of time.then in the last year his hands started shaking at times to the point that he cant even feed himself.last night he told me that his head is also starting to shake,and now in the last couple wks he has have had severe hot flashes all through out the day.my father is retired from Chrysler with insurance, but since the back surgery yrs ago he has lost faith and hope in any doctors so much so that he wont even go to a dr to get blood preasure mediction that he needs also he is very stubborn the only reason I am doing this is because I know with all these conditions I know my father does not have much time left if he does not get help soon.so he made a promise to me that he will go to one dr,he finally agreed after I begged n cried that I didn t want to lose him.so he told me to find one doctor and he agreed n promised h ke would go.then this morning he called me to tell that he had a heart attack in 2010he said he laid on the floor and did not call 911 or never told anyone about it till now. this is my only chance to help my dad and he has so many problems I don t no where or what kind of dr to call.as of now I just moved in to take care of him cause hes getting worse evey day. I live in Kenosha wi I am not good at computers,all I know is I need help

Sorry to hear this. First, you must address his psychological state. He very much sounds like he has underlying depression, which is very common after retirement. And uncontrolled depression makes everything worse, including pain disorders. I know it is often taboo, especially in the older generation, to seek mental health care. But it can be a life saver. Because if he can achieve inner peace, his body has a better chance of achieving outer peace. And besides, the brain does control the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, which controls pain and function in all of these areas.
