Spinal pain specially the back portion
My mother in law is having severe pain in back and spinal portion.She is unable to stand and walk due to severe pain.MRI has been done.It indicates lumber problem.presently she is in so poor condition that she is even unable to sleep properly.
Hi, I would like to know what MRI suggests. She shouldn't be doing back rest. Please put a cool pack on low back for 10 mi Ute's to subside the swelling deep in. On sides of spine where muscle is tight you can apply warm pack for 15 minutes.
