Hello Dr.  I am a 67 year old woman who has chronic low back pain. I have had slipped discs in my forties and a spinal laminectomy in 2010. I have had physical therapy.injections of cortisteroids and only had temporary relief of pain which is in my left hip now. I have been doing Aqua exercises and more recently been going to a "Bowen Technique"therapist.  I cannot stand or walk for any length of time without pain. I cannot tolerate strong pain pills and get some relief from Tylenol and Aleve. However I want to be pain free. Do I consult with an Orthopedist Dr. or another Neurologist.(my original neurologist has moved away)  Thank you for your opinion.
Hello, Thanks for your query. As you are suffering from slipped disc and laminectomy already done previously, I suggest you to go for new MRI to see the nerve compression and plan of management acc. to that. Consult a spine surgeon for proper evaluation and management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
