Ren Shou Song, Department of Spine Surgery, People’s Hospital of Jimo: Whether to operate depends on the effect of conservative treatment and the severity of symptoms, if the symptoms are tolerable and can be relieved with medication, you can continue to use medication. If the symptoms seriously affect the quality of life, the medication is not able to relieve, or even the lower extremities still have symptoms when bedridden, surgery may have to be considered. Age is not a contraindication to surgery. A detailed physical examination is required prior to surgery, and any coexisting conditions that may affect the surgery will be treated accordingly prior to surgery. There are a variety of conservative treatments with huge content and no uniform therapy, so consult your local physician. Please excuse not being able to go into detail here.
