My Mother has DJD. Has had back\neck surgery. However, I think her symptoms are deeper than just a bad back. She is experiencing numbness in her hands. Has loss the ability to write and grasp objects. Her speech is affected as well. She cannot speak very loud and also has difficulty swallowing. Gets choked a lot. She is walking in a bent over state and sways to one side. Her left hip looks atleast 4 inches higher than the other when walking. She cannot lift her head when walking. She says she feels like something is pulling her head forward. She tires easily. Cannot stand or walk over 10 minutes. Can you help me figure this out?

Optional Information:
Female, Age: 61, United States

Already Tried:
XStop back surgery,neck surgery, epidural steroid injections, pain meds, Lyrica
