Slip disc pain
✓My grandfather's age is 74.
✓Non diabetic patient.
✓Have problem of hypertension.
✓No other problems.
From last month he's been feeling pain in his lower left back.
But from the last 4-5 he's having very intense pain in the lower left back and also in the left hamstring. He's unable to stand straight or walk properly.
The pain is there continuously for 24hrs, even after taking medicine (dorfree).
The doctor said that the pain is due to old age. But I don't think so.
I've attached the MRI report.
Please guide me.
