Question 1

My mom has been dealing with nerve issues for a long time and can't walk without my dad's support she holds his shoulder to move around. Doctors haven't been able to help, and one even suggested surgery with a 95% failure rate. She's lost all confidence and now struggles with uncontrollable bowel movements and urine, so she barely leaves the house. Even at night, she often falls when rushing to the bathroom, and we have to help her up. Recently, she fell badly and cut her lip. It's heartbreaking to see her suffer like this. Are there any treatments or specialists who could help her walk again or at least improve her condition? Her reports show nerve damage, but we're not sure what else to try.
