4 Fractured Discs
Posted: 12-01-03 13:05pm

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.
