Hi,
Surgery may not be possible at this age. You can consider drugs like Tramadol or Gabapentin to control pain. If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
