Legs and hips paining due to spine issue

2018-11-07 16:26:57
My mom is having acute pain in right hip and leg. The doctor has mentioned spine surgery as only option as treatment. But she has undergone 10 operations for various reasons and wants to avoid this one. Also, the success rate of spine surgeries is questionable. She is very scared about this one. The doctor says she will be able to join office within a month of operation. She currently has type 2 diabetes and the insulin was stopped two weeks back. Last year she had pancreatitis. She has metal rods in both the legs. Can a doctor here genuinely help us know if surgery is required here? MRI reports and x ray report are attached.

Hi, in my opinion, if the pain and other symptoms are there, and considering your reports you should opt for surgery. But i need to see the prescription for what surgery has been advised. For any further queries you can contact me through Practo Chat, Take Care
