Relief in 7 Months: A Journey to a Pain-Free Life with LCS Surgery
History
Struggling with intense back pain and constant tingling in the leg, daily activities became almost impossible. Walking even for 10 minutes or turning in bed was a challenge, forcing the need for support just to get up. These severe symptoms made life difficult and hinted at a serious spine condition. After consulting with a spine specialist, the patient learned that LCS surgery might be the best path to relief.
Before LCS Surgery
The problem was identified as L4-L5 listhesis with LCS (Lumbar Canal Stenosis). This means a lower back bone had slightly slipped forward, and the spinal canal had become narrow, compressing the nerves. Disc degeneration and thickened joints added to the narrowing, causing sharp pain, weakness, and limited mobility typical of lumbar spine conditions.

Consequently, the patient regained leg strength and noticed remarkable improvements in walking and movement.
