Hello,

In my opinion, your friend should be seen and evaluated by a Neurosurgeon for this diagnosis.

Conservative treatment often fails in such cases and surgery remains the best option.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
