The main causes of back pain in the elderly that prevents them from walking are bone spurs and herniated lumbar discs. The solutions are brace support, physical therapy, medication and surgery. It is important to choose the appropriate treatment measures according to different causes. 1. Bone spurs: When the proliferation of bone spurs for the surrounding soft tissues and nerve compression, will trigger low back pain. Non-steroidal drugs such as flurbiprofen gel paste can be used. In severe cases, sodium vitrate can be injected into the lumbar joints to reduce pain, or minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery can be performed to remove bone spurs. 2. Herniated lumbar discs: Herniated lumbar discs can compress the spinal nerves backward and cause lumbar pain, so you can apply hot compresses and massage locally to relax the lumbar muscles. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can also be taken to relieve back pain. In severe cases, surgical treatment such as endoscopic myelomeningocele removal is needed. When elderly people experience back pain to the extent that it interferes with walking and conservative treatments are ineffective, it is recommended that they seek medical attention as soon as possible and undergo appropriate treatment based on the results of the examination.
