I am 83 years old and had a minimally invasive lower back surgery 10 yrs ago. My back pain is pretty bad, no alternative treatments helped. My question is if I can go for another surgery. I had a mini struck 6 month ago and a heart stent 2 years ago. I consider I am healthy. Your advice please
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. It looks like you are in good shape for a surgery even though you are 83 years old. Since other alternative treatments have failed, and you are still in pain I would recommend you to go ahead and discuss with your doctor about a second back surgery. Wish you quick recovery.
