My mother is suffering from lower back pain since 8-9 years. She has a problem in L4-L5-S1 discs and her leg gets numb if she stands or walks for a while. Currently she is undergoing physiotherapy from past 3 months but it isn't helping much. Different doctors have given different opinions. Please suggest what to do ?
