Now she is suffering too heavy pain and sh is not able to walk free. Is it necessary for a operation or it is curable. She took all kind of treatments no use. Please advice me.
Spine surgeries are usually elective and quality of life surgeries. If your surgeon feels that your problem is correctable surgically, and you feel that it is enough of suffering to bear, then it is the time to get operated. Certainly all non-operative measures should be tried before that. Is the problem curable can be decided only upon examining the patient and her investigations and imaging which I am sure must have been done by your doctor who recommended surgery. Not all cases need surgery though.
