Constant Lower Back pain
I was having a pain in my lower back since long. I went to a Orthopedic and he advised for the surgery ,resulted to diagnose a reduced GAP between the last 2 cords. Doctor suggested the pain may be because of this issue and as this is a mechanical problem hence we cant do anything except being careful.
Please advise what best I can do to get rid.
