Severe backpain
My mother is suffering from severe back pain. Not able to walk properly. Right leg gets numb. We did her Whole spinal MRI and it says severe spinal canal stenosis. She is already suffering from partial paralysis due to brain haemorrhage 6 years back. She is also taking high BP tablets daily. Can anybody tell what should I do? Do we need to go for surgery and what will be the cost? Pl help.

Pain and numbness in Canal stenosis can be treated with or without surgery.
Keeping in consideration about the medical condition of your mother I won't recommend surgery at first .
Special block injection is available which can give relief.
You should consult with old records and mri.
