Though she has been operated 7 years back , it isn't necessary that the problem would be from same level of spine.
Physiotherapy is recommended
Next Steps
See a Physiotherapist and get it evaluated. exercises to reduce disc pressure and prevent recurrences are more important than symptomatic pain relief
