Spine surgery treats problems like slip disc, spinal stenosis or fracture by taking pressure off the nerves or steadying the bones. Most kamar dard never needs it. Surgery is considered when weakness, numbness or bladder trouble appears, or when months of proper treatment have not helped. Paralysis from spine surgery is rare.
A procedure performed to address spinal problems, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or fractures. It involves correcting the issue by stabilizing, decompressing, or fusing vertebrae to relieve pain and improve function.

Ask which fits my scanThis is the fear that keeps most people away, and it is worth answering plainly. Serious nerve injury from spine surgery is uncommon. The larger risk for many patients is waiting too long, because a nerve squeezed for months may not recover fully even after it is freed. Ask your surgeon about the specific risks of your operation.
Cost depends on the procedure, the implants used, and how many nights you stay. Ranges are wide, so do not trust a number quoted over the phone. Ask for a written quote in PKR that lists surgeon fee, hospital and theatre charges, implants, anaesthesia and follow-up. Ask what is not included, and whether your panel or insurance applies.

Strong massage or manipulation on an inflamed disc can make taang mein dard worse, so stop if the pain increases. Surgery becomes the honest answer when the leg pain is disabling, the foot is going weak, or an MRI matches your symptoms.
For a simple disc operation, most people stand and walk the same day or the next, and go home within a couple of days. Desk work often resumes in two to four weeks. Heavy lifting, farm work and long bike rides take longer. Fusion surgery needs more time. Your surgeon will give you a plan for your job.
No. Send your MRI report and films on WhatsApp and ask which approach suits your scan, endoscopic or microdiscectomy.
