My father is 83 years old and he is generally quite fit for his age. He still exercises and walks. Though from last few years, he has been loosing control over his legs while walking at times. We showed to a few doctors and recently went to Ram Manohar Lohia hospital. A senior neuro prescribed flushing out fluid from head and he thinks this may help. On browsing through net, we got some confusing views. It may result in regular headache and some side effects as well. As his current problem is not too severe and considering his age, should we go for this treatment? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, is there a good neuro we can go for a second opinion ( preferably at Noida)? Regards, Arun
