Patient's question:
Unable to walk normally, both legs show signs of atrophy, and there is a sensation of jumping in both legs. Both hands and the back are in severe pain. Even lying in bed, the pain is extremely intense, and it is difficult to have a bowel movement, requiring daily use of glycerin suppositories.Doctor's answer:
At the age of 85, the elderly suffer from nerve compression due to lumbar spine disease, most of which are herniated intervertebral discs and lumbar spinal stenosis. Due to the severity of the condition, even using Liang's topical patch will not have a significant effect. If the body permits, surgical treatment should be considered as much as possible. If the physical condition is poor, bed rest with strict treatment is the only option. Bowel movements can only be assisted through enemas or suppositories. It is also necessary to prevent the recurrence of bedsores. The above explanation is hoped to be helpful to you. If you have any doubts, it is recommended to ask.
