Lumbar Pain Treatment
What are some treatments for a lumbar discectomy post? My father had surgery 20 years ago and have chronic pain?
My Dad had his L4, 5, and 6 lumbar discs removed 20 years ago due to a bad skiing accident. He has had pain since, but lately seems to be getting worse. He was president of wheels destined for the past 10 years, maybe more. I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any new technology that could help. He has been on pain medications after surgery, but they do not seem to be working so well anymore. Please help me if you have any information in this regard. I just want my dad to be without pain, or at least help to alleviate it. Thanks
