Default Navigating doctors for a bad back

We have been in The Villages about 9 months and my husbands back has been hurting since around the time we got here. He has been sent from doctor to pain and spine docs that administer shots, receive xrays and MRIs, back to the doctor, referred to a neuro surgeon that takes over a month to get in to. Meanwhile he is prescribed several types of pain killers and basically can barely walk more than 5 feet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get him some help immediately or know of a reputable back doctor that will see him right away?
Thank you in advance.
