Treatment for my mother nerve problem.

. It's clear that she has been experiencing a significant amount of discomfort due to her L4-L5 posterior annular tear, disc bulge, and now neck pain with degeneration. Given the complexity of her symptoms and the medical history you've provided, it's essential to approach her treatment holistically. Here are some considerations: Continued Physiotherapy: If she has not seen significant improvement from her previous physiotherapy sessions, it may be beneficial to consult with a physiotherapist who specializes in spinal conditions. They can tailor a program to strengthen her core and improve her stability, which may help with walking and reduce pain. Pain Management: It may be worth discussing with her physician the possibility of adjusting her pain management regimen. Sometimes, medications can be optimized, or additional therapies, such as nerve blocks or more targeted pain management strategies, can be considered. Neurological Evaluation: Given the nerve conduction study results showing demyelination, it would be prudent to consult a neurologist. This is particularly important due to her new neck pain and the potential for conditions like peripheral neuropathy or even multiple sclerosis. A thorough neurological evaluation, including additional imaging or tests, may be necessary to clarify her diagnosis. Multidisciplinary Approach: Engaging a multidisciplinary team, including a neurologist, orthopedic specialist, and pain management expert, may provide a comprehensive approach to her treatment. Lifestyle Modifications: Encourage her to engage in gentle activities, such as swimming or walking on soft surfaces, which may help with mobility while minimizing pain. Ergonomic adjustments at home can also help reduce strain. Follow-up Imaging: If her neck pain persists, further imaging (like an MRI) may be warranted to assess the extent of degeneration and rule out other potential issues. Educating on Symptoms: It’s crucial to keep track of her symptoms and any changes. If she experiences new or worsening symptoms, she should seek medical attention promptly. Please ensure that she continues regular follow-ups with her healthcare team to monitor her condition and adjust her treatment plan as necessary. Each patient's situation is unique, and a personalized approach is vital for effective management. I hope this information helps guide you in your mother’s care. Wishing her a smooth recovery. Dr. K.
