Why Is My Father Unable To Stand On His Legs With Back Pain?
Hello docter, my father is 86 yrs, 6 feet in height he was suffering from back pain from last few yrs till few days back one morning he got up and claimed that he is unable to stand on his legs though he has sensation in both legs . An MRI was done which shows multiple injuries and bulgings at L1-L2, L3-L4 and L4-L5 along with bordering osteophytes causing lateral and foraminal narrowing compression on nerve roots plus partial compression of D12 vertebra with altered marrow intensity. We had consulted many neurophysicians and neurosurgeons looking at the conditions of his bones they are not in favour of surgery, kindly suggest what can be done further
