How Can Severe Backache And Difficulty In Walking Be Treated?
Yes, I have rear a lot of your info and its all geared towards children, that s fine they need help also. I am 76 years old and at age 75 Boom had terrible back ache, and problems walking. As the pain went away my ability to walk increased. Here I am wheelchair bound, With therapy I can walk some with a walker and maybe 6 or 8 steps on my own, and its not pretty. Nuero surgeon said there was nothing he could do for me surgically. Where do I go from here?
