I am trying to find some information on
treatments for severe back pain caused by
4 fractured discs. My mother in law was
in a car accident 2 years ago and has had
terrible back pain since then.
The pain is effecting her diabetes and
high blood pressure. It is out of
control.
She has had months of therapy followed by
burning nerves, and now has had 3 or 4
epidurals. None of this has helped.
She is getting worse.
The doctor wants to do a high risk surgery
to fuse 7 vertebrae together. He will
have to collapse a lung to do it. She
will be flat on her back for months and
then will not be able to bend her back due
to the fused 7 discs.
Any ideas of where I could find some
information to help her would be so
appreciated.
There has to be something that can be
done.

Homeopathy can give your mother-in-law
significant amout of relief.
With hypertension & diabetes not under
check the probability of surgery is less
for now.
An mri of the spine would give a better
idea about the necessary medicines for
your homoeopath's prescription.
