Hello! thank you for writing us here.
Well, a possible case of nerve compression at the back region. That's your concern right? If the medications doesn't make any difference, an operation would take a couple of hours to perform.
they would remove some part of vertebrae which won't compress the nerves anymore.
he'll get quick relief after the operation and success rates are high. Pain would be present for few weeks at the site of operation but it would subside with NSAIDs the doctor would prescribe. Rest the chances of relapse are low.


best regards,
