Loss of balance, pain in lower back.
My uncle aged 70 plus is suffering from loss of balance during walking, pain in the lower back while sitting, loss of memory, sleeplessness often waking up in the middle of the night and staying up till morning. This is happening for the past one year.
MRI done which showed fluid in brain, we consulted a neurologist about this but the doctor advised us to go with physiotherapy instead of tapping out the excess fluid.
Physiotherapy on balance and GAIT done but without any positive results
Please help
How should we now handle the matter ???
