My father is 62 and has trouble walking his leg below the knee goes numb, and he has to stop for 10-12 minutes before he can walk again. A neurosurgeon recommended surgery, but he doesn't want to go through with it. He's been taking Neurobin Forte and finds it helpful, but is there a more effective tablet or medicine that can manage his pain and symptoms without surgery? The MRI report shows some issues, but he's hesitant about an operation. What else can we try?
