Worsening Asthma, Non-cancerous Brain Tumor, Cortisone Shots For Hip Pain. Any New Treatment For Hip Spurs ?

my fiance struggled all of her life with asthma and scoliosis. however recently, her asthma has gotten far worse. while in the hospital during one attact, they discovered a small brain tumor on the millengioma(the membrain covering the brain). said it is non cancerous. she has also been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and hip spurs. also for the last year or so she has had several attacks of the shingles. she is going to therapy, sees family doctor, pulminologist, neurosurgeon, neurologist, and bone doctor. they have prescibed meds for her and therapy. i dont believe they can do much for the asthma or scoliosis. she is 50. but alot of her pain i believe comes from nerve pain. just told she has hip spurs . treatment is therapy and shots. i believe that that rather than giving her shots of cortizone for hip pain, (this is not solving the problem only putting it off) resulting in more severe problems in the future. i guess what i am asking you, if this was a loved one of yours , what would you suggest, even if it may not be the common type of treatement. are there any new treatments for the hip spurs. thank you for your time. Is there anything else she should be trying or type of doctor she should be seeing?
