Suggest Remedy For Lower Back Pain

my father is suffering from severe lower back pain. he occasionally gets a sprain kinds, and then cannopt move for days together. we have tried several medicines and consulted many doctors, they say, the gap between 2 bones, through which the spinal nerves pass through is reducing, and in turning jamming the nerves, thats causing the pain. they suggested surgery as the only solution. but am skeptical about a spinal surgery, so wanted some expert opinion on it.

Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your father are suffering from chronic backache. It may be lumbar spondylosis with sciatica.It can be confirmed by x-rays. MRI of spine rule out other causes.Back exercises, Diacerine, glucosamine sulfate neurotropic such as methycobalamin and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG ) give relief.Whether his solution is surgery only can be said after seeing MRI. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
