Harishankar, a 40-year-old from Patna, had been dealing with back and leg pain for over six years. The pain was mostly in his right leg, but his left leg was also affected, making it difficult to do everyday activities. He tried different treatments, but nothing helped for long. An MRI showed that a bulging disc in his lower back (L4-L5) was pressing on the nerves, causing pain like sciatica. This made it hard for him to walk and affected his daily life.

After dealing with pain for years, Harishankar decided to see Dr. Sourabh Chachan, a top specialist in Endoscopic Spine Surgery. After looking at his condition, Dr. Chachan suggested endoscopic spine surgery as the best option for his back problem. Unlike regular surgeries, which involve large cuts and long recovery times, this surgery is less invasive. It’s done with a small cut and doesn’t involve cutting bones, muscles, or ligaments. This means there’s less chance of problems, and Harishankar can heal faster.

Dr. Chachan explained that in Harishankar's case, the bulging disc had been pressing on the nerve for a long time, which was the cause of his ongoing pain. Time had passed, and although simple exercises could have helped earlier, the disc piece had become too large, requiring surgical intervention. The good news was that endoscopic spine surgery could provide a permanent solution, eliminating the pain and restoring Harishankar’s mobility. Most importantly, it would save him from relying on painkillers, steroids, and the looming risk of long-term disability.

Harishankar decided to go ahead with the surgery, and it went very well. Just a few days after the procedure, he started feeling better. He was able to walk and move easily, something he hadn't been able to do for years. In just 20 to 25 days, he fully recovered, and the pain that had bothered him so much seemed like a thing of the past.

Harishankar's story shows how effective modern medicine can be. Endoscopic spine surgery not only gave him long-lasting relief but also helped him recover quickly, so he could return to his normal life. Thanks to Dr. Sourabh Chachan’s expertise in this surgery, Harishankar now lives pain-free and enjoys the everyday activities that many people take for granted.

If you or someone you know is struggling with chronic back pain, don’t lose hope. Endoscopic spine surgery is safe and effective, and with the right doctor, Dr. Sourabh Chachan, you can find relief from your pain and reclaim your life.
