History of Chronic Back and Knee Pain Treatment: Third Surgery Success
Imagine living with back pain so severe that every simple movement – standing up, sitting down, even turning in bed – feels like a monumental task. That was the reality for Mrs. Chillal, a brave 70-year-old lady. Her journey shows how complex spine issues can be and how the right chronic back and knee pain treatment can bring lasting relief.
Before Treatment
Mrs. Chillal had already undergone two spine surgeries. The first gave her 9 years of comfort, while the second provided relief for about a year after a fall. But the nagging lower back pain returned, growing worse over three years. She woke up with pain, struggled to stand for more than a couple of minutes, and even faced difficulty walking. On top of this, she had severe pain in both her knees, making life even harder.
Her spine had narrowed in places – a condition called lumbar canal stenosis – putting pressure on her nerves and causing pain that shot down her legs. When she came to us, our team, led by Dr. Sangram Rajale, carefully reviewed her scans and history. It was clear she needed advanced chronic back and knee pain treatment through surgery.
Previous Surgery
Recovery After Third Surgery by Dr. Sangram Rajale
Mrs. Chillal underwent a major procedure that involved relieving the pressure on her nerves from L3 to L5 and performing a posterolateral fusion from L3 to S1. Fusion is like gently joining some of the vertebrae together to stabilize the area with special implants. The surgery also required removing previous implants and addressing narrowed spaces in her spine. During the procedure, a small tear in the protective covering of the nerves was identified and promptly repaired.
The outcome was a complete success. Just a few days later, Mrs. Chillal was walking happily, even climbing stairs with ease. Her recovery was 100%, and she was overjoyed. This was a shining example of how expert chronic back and knee pain treatment can give patients their lives back.
Mrs. Chillal’s journey proves that even with complex and recurring spine problems, the right chronic back and knee pain treatment can restore hope and healing. If you or your loved ones are suffering, consult Dr. Sangram Rajale today for advanced, safe, and effective spine care.
