Suggest Treatment For Pain On The Back And Legs

I recently had xrays of my lower back and have been told I have arthiritis. Besides a back op there is not much else that can be done except pain meds. I do not know what type it is but causes pain in lower back and at times pins and needles in my legs and at times I cannot feel my legs. Do you have suggestions.

I hope you have satisfied with the answer.
