Shooting pain in the lower back/waist
After a high/strong kick to ward off an attack from a few street dogs during his evening walk, my father started having a shooting pain in his left lower back/waist. It is very severe currently and there is no relief even after applying Volini ointment as well. He was recently diagnosed with cervical spondylosis at C4-C5, C5-C6, C7-C8. Attached the report for the same. Please advise for the same ASAP as his pain is not decreasing.
