My grandfather fell from the roof. His spine is fractured, and both his arm and leg are also broken. He has stitches near his eye. One of his kidneys has been completely damaged. The doctors said that surgery would be extremely risky because, given his age of 85 years, he might not survive the operation. A doctor in Muzaffarpur has referred him to a hospital in Patna. Do you think he will survive
Hello
Please find the attached X ray report for my cervical ap and lat.
Can someone tell me if something is wrong?
My father's age is 51
He has been diagnosed with slip disc (between L4 and L5)
I have attached the MRI reports
He is having unbearable pain that starts from lower back n goes till left leg
He is not able to sit even for 10 sec tingling and pain starts
We have shown one spine surgeon
He told us to take meds for 3 week n if condition doens't improve then proceeds to surgery
He has given
Ultracet
Pan - D
Gaba neuron (NT 400/10)
Even taking for 10+ days there is no major improvement
We have shown to 2nd doctor for second opinion as it is feeling so much risky for operation
And 2nd doctor said don't take so much meds
And he told to take meds for 6days and stop the previous med
He prescribed
DFZ 6mg
If no improvement then have to do surgery
So now i m confused wht should I do and whom should I consult
Is surgery is the only solution left for my dad?
He is having high blood pressure, diabetes and taking meds of that too
Whom should I consult i want assurance and more discussion
I am having a severe pain at the back of my neck
Attaching my mri reports
Kindly suggest should I wear neck collar
Recently, left thumb injury and as per X ray confirmed bony mallet finger.
Is it corrected by 5-6 weeks of normal splint use or it needs a surgical procedure!
