Back pain in the lower back
I grandfather is having Scaitica ( in the lower back) problem in his back. He can't even want or sit he is taking homeopathic medicine and on 25/09 he went to the emergency hospital and got couple of pain killer insulin but still he is not able to walk. Doctor's said he he needs operation but last year he came back from AT as he started having breathing problems. Any operation like lazor or something which could cure him. He used drive and walk normally fit and now it's totally changed. Any advice I want him to get fit as he was. Please. Thank you.

Some electro therapeutic modalities like TENS should control Sciatica problem and Sciatic nerve mobilisation exercise as well. U need thorough examination after that physiotherapeutic treatment can be decided. To avoid surgery physiotherapy is a must u should consult your nearby qualified Physiotherapist who should be a bachelor's or masters in Physiotherapy qualified. Surgery is not always a good option at 78 years age.
