A member asked:
My mother has discs in her back 20y ago she is 73y old.now she has pain in her left leg muscles. any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic back pain: Back pain has many interrelated causes. Degeneration of the intervertebral disks results from poor posture, poor diet & hydration, sedentary behaviors, and smoking. The same issues result in tight, painful muscles. Angry or sad mood can cause muscle pain to be chronic. "nothing" can't work by definition, but there are many interventions that a skilled holistic doctor could recommend for your mom.
