Harvindra Singh’s recovery began after months of suffering from back pain, which eventually spread to his legs. Despite taking medicine for spine TB, his condition didn’t get better. Realizing he needed expert care, Harvindra turned to Dr. Sourabh Chachan, a Spine TB specialist known for offering the best treatment for Spine TB in Gurgaon.
Dr. Chachan’s review of Harvindra’s reports showed a complicated condition. The MRI revealed an infection at the L2-L3 level, likely caused by tuberculosis. There was also a problem at the L3-L4 level, where the discs were damaged, and a lot of bone had been lost. The gap between the bones, which is usually 12-13mm, had shrunk to just 8mm, showing that there was a lot of pressure in that area. In addition, there were signs of joint damage (arthritis) in the hips, especially on the right side, and possibly the early stages of a condition called Avascular Necrosis (AVN), where the bone doesn’t get enough blood and starts to weaken. These findings highlighted the need for a thorough diagnosis to decide the best treatment plan.
Dr. Sourabh Chachan explained the importance of doing a biopsy to determine the type of tuberculosis (TB) Harvindra had—whether it was regular TB, drug-resistant TB (MDR), or extremely drug-resistant TB (XDR). This was crucial because the treatment would depend on the type. He also focused on Harvindra’s hip issues, stressing the need to figure out if the problem was due to natural wear and tear or arthritis, as that would affect the treatment plan. Dr. Chachan advised getting detailed MRI scans of both the hips and lower spine to ensure no important details are missed.
The road ahead for Harvindra wasn’t easy, but Dr. Chachan’s words gave him hope. He explained that spine tuberculosis and hip problems could be treated with the right care at the right time. The possibility of minimally invasive procedures, such as Endoscopic Spine Surgery, offered a promising path to recovery while minimizing disruption to daily life.
For those battling similar conditions, Harvindra’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking timely and expert care. Thanks to modern medical care and expert Dr. Sourabh Chachan, full recovery is achievable. Whether it's treating spine TB in Gurgaon or managing complex spine and hip issues, the right treatment and care can bring hope and healing.
