[quote=Anonymous]My mother-in-law has a herniated disk. She's otherwise healthy and active, in her fifties, and can walk/stoop/lift etc. She has some pain "putting on her socks and shoes" so doesn't think she could even do physical therapy or yoga. I'm furious at the doctor she's consulted for not even recommending more conservative treatment first. This same doctor has performed four (!) back surgeries on my FIL which has made him home bound and addicted to opiates. Obviously there's a bunch of underlying dysfunction, but how can I convince my MIL to attempt other treatments first, or at least to get a second opinion? This is really stressing my DH out, as we would be responsible for them financially and otherwise should something go wrong with her surgery. Please help. [/quote]
