Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think your wife is suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac SR). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. As she has already failed surgery so only if she has radiation(going) of pain in both lower limbs than only she can think of surgery. Consulting with treating doctor/orthopedecian is advised. I think your query answer.
