Suggest Treatment For Pain Caused Due To Vertebrae Fracture
My mom has scoliosis and 3fractured vertebrates in her back, She also has osteoporosis and she s in a lot of pain. She takes pain medication and gets 2 shots a year to build those bones back up. Is there any treatment or any alternatives to help relieve the pain. She is 80 years old, and is in desperate need to relieve the pain. She is seeing a rheumatologist but he has been of no help! Please help her, Thank you!

HI
Well come to CHM
I really appreciate your concern for your mother looking to here clinical condition age she might not be fit for any surgical intervention, because in such case of scoliosis surgery some time gives best result but here in her case nothing much can be don, but to continue the analgesic medicines, moral support may play good role here, too much pain killer medicines may be harmful for her and care need to be taken while administrating this, hope this information helps, take care.
