@jlssurplus Thank you for the informative response. Yes, I agree. She is going to a pain specialist in a few weeks, and I hope he has some answers. At her age, there is probably not a choice of surgery so we will have to go to other routes.

@bobbythebrain your wife is not too old to have spine surgery if you are considering only her age. I am 78 and had a very successful L3-S1 laminectomy and fusion 3 months ago. I am already starting to feel like myself again. An MRI will give a lot more information about her spine than a plain x-ray will. I hope you find some answers soon.
