Can Severe Pain In The Legs And Buttocks Be Treated Without Pain Medication?
I have been diagnosed with mild cauda equina syndrome. Apparently it is to far gone for surgery and also because I am on oxygen 24/7. I have had 3 epidurals in my spine in the last couple of months which has relieved some of my back pain. But the pain in my buttocks, hips and legs is very severe. Is there any thing I can do for this besides pain medication.

Hi,
As you have this condition it is unlikely that without painkiller your pain will reduce. Kindly take medications until you come to a state that you can bear it by yourself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
