My mom has been in constant pain for a while and unable to sleep or sit properly. She is also finding it difficult to walk and has been constantly loosing her balance whenever she walks.
To give a background. She had undergone a spine surgery last year and post that chemo treatment for a cancer. It's been 5 months post her chemo cancer is completed.
The pain has started in the last month or so and no amount of tablets is bringing her relief.
The current tablet that she is using (since yesterday) are TB Etoshine 60 twice a day, TB gabaneuron nt twice a day, TB pan twice a day before this she was using Mobiron, Rivan and PAN D twice a day.
We did and MRI of Cervical Dorsal spine but unable to make out what the problem is right now.
Please refer to the attachment and let us know what can be the best course of action or at least a medicine that can help her sleep peacefully.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's pain and difficulty with walking and balance. It sounds like she has been through a lot with the spine surgery and chemo treatment. It is good that an MRI has been done, as it can help to identify any potential issues with the spine or surrounding tissues.
Based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine the exact cause of your mother's pain and difficulty with walking and balance. It is possible that the symptoms may be related to her previous spine surgery or cancer treatment. It is important for her to follow up with her doctor or specialist to review the results of the MRI and discuss the best course of action.
In the meantime, it is important for her to continue taking her prescribed medications and following any recommended physical therapy or exercises to help manage her pain and improve her mobility. It may also be helpful for her to rest and avoid any activities or movements that aggravate her symptoms.
