Dear Shellyka,

Thank you for sharing your MRI reports — We’ve reviewed them in detail, and here’s a clear explanation of what they indicate:

---

🩺 MRI Findings Summary:

• You have mild degenerative disc changes in your lower spine (lumbar region).

• A disc bulge at the L5-S1 level is pressing on the nerve roots on both sides (bilateral foraminal encroachment).

• This can explain your symptoms—back pain radiating to arms, weakness in legs, and tailbone discomfort.

---

What This Means Medically: The disc bulge is likely compressing nerves that travel to your lower limbs, which may be causing the weakness and radiating pain. This condition is common and treatable.

---

✅ Next Steps for Treatment:

1. Consult a spine specialist (orthopaedic or neurosurgeon)

2. Treatment options may include:

   • Medication for inflammation and nerve pain

   • Physiotherapy to strengthen back and core muscles

   • Posture correction, lifestyle changes, and weight management (if needed)

   • Epidural injections or minimally invasive procedures, if pain is persistent

   • Surgery is only performed in rare, severe, or non-responsive cases

---

💬 How HexaHealth Can Help You:

• Connect you with the best spine specialists in Ludhiana or nearby cities

• Arrange a second opinion consultation

• Assist with insurance-based treatment options

---

Your condition is manageable with proper medical guidance, and most patients recover well without surgery if treated early.

Please don’t delay

Dear Tarak ji,

We understand that despite following your doctor's advice — including X-ray, MRI, medications, and IFT (Interferential Therapy) — you're still experiencing severe pain in the upper left leg. Based on this, your doctor has recommended Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS), which is a minimally invasive procedure often used for conditions like slipped disc, nerve compression, or sciatica that haven't improved with non-surgical treatment.

What is ESS (Endoscopic Spine Surgery)?

ESS is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera (endoscope) is inserted through a tiny incision to treat the affected area of the spine. It causes less tissue damage, faster recovery time, and usually leads to less post-operative pain than traditional surgery.

---

Best hospitals in Kolkata for Endoscopic Spine Surgery

1. NH Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Mukundapur

2. Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Mukundapur

3. Manipal Hospital (formerly AMRI Dhakuria), Dhakuria

These hospitals have advanced neurosurgery/orthopaedics departments with experienced spine surgeons skilled in minimally invasive and endoscopic spine procedures.

---

Next steps you can consider

• Share your MRI report with a spine specialist or neurosurgeon for a second opinion if needed

• Discuss cost, insurance or Ayushman coverage if eligible

If you'd like, the HexaHealth team can help you:

• Find the best ESS surgeon near you

• Book appointments or assist with hospital comparison

• Check for cashless insurance or Ayushman Bharat scheme options

---

A few important things to understand about spine surgery:

• Spine surgery is usually advised when non-surgical treatments (like physiotherapy and medications) fail to relieve symptoms such as severe back pain, leg pain, numbness, or mobility issues.

• Common spine issues requiring surgery include: slipped disc (herniated disc), spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or spine fractures.

• Types of spine surgeries include: discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).

• Your doctor will first evaluate your MRI, X-rays, and physical condition before recommending the right surgical option.

• Recovery and rehabilitation are important parts of the process, and are discussed with you before the surgery.

Hello Vishal,

We're sorry to hear about your accident. We hope you're recovering well.

Firstly, based on your description — fractured ribs and fluid in the lung (possibly pleural effusion) — it's important to consider the following:

🔹 Questions for you:

• Have you been admitted to a hospital, or are you managing this at home?

• Are you experiencing difficulty in breathing, chest pain, or fever?

Based on general guidelines, here's the usual treatment and precautions:

🔹 Immediate Treatment:

• Pain Management: Adequate pain control is essential (usually with analgesics or sometimes nerve blocks) to allow proper breathing and avoid lung infections.

• Monitoring the Lung Fluid:

  • Small amounts of fluid may resolve on their own with observation.

  • Large or worsening fluid collections might need drainage (thoracentesis or chest tube insertion).

• Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing and incentive spirometry are recommended to prevent pneumonia and lung collapse.

🔹 Precautions for Healing:

• Avoid heavy lifting, sudden movements, or straining.

• Rest adequately, but do gentle breathing exercises daily.

• Monitor for signs of complications:

  • Increased chest pain

  • Difficulty in breathing

  • Fever (could indicate infection)

• Attend regular follow-ups and imaging as advised by your doctor.

🔹 General Recovery Plan:

• Rib fractures usually heal in 6–8 weeks.

• The fluid collection must initially be reassessed by imaging every few days.

• Physical therapy may be started once you are stable to maintain lung and chest wall function.

⚕️ Important:
If you feel increased breathlessness, sharp chest pain, a cough with blood, or fever, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery! 🌟

Hello Syed ji,
Thank you for reaching out to the HexaHealth community.

Since Kidwai Cancer Hospital, Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, and St. John’s are government or charitable institutions, the cost of treatment — including surgeries — is usually heavily subsidised or offered at minimal charges. However, we won’t be able to help with the exact cost details for treatments in these hospitals, as they operate under different guidelines than private hospitals and may vary case by case.

If at any point you are exploring options in private hospitals or need assistance with treatment planning, second opinions, or cost estimates in such settings, the HexaHealth team is always here to help you.

Wishing you strength and good health ahead. 🙏

Namaskar Syed Abbas ji,

Aapne GCT (Giant Cell Tumor) ke baare mein jo bataya, usse related aapki chinta hum samajh sakte hain. GCT ek tarah ka bone tumour hota hai, jo zyadatar ghutne ke neeche (jaise tibia ya femur) develop hota hai.

Surgery kyun zaroori hoti hai?

GCT generally non-cancerous hota hai, lekin yeh aggressive tareeke se badh sakta hai aur bone ko weak kar sakta hai. Isliye doctors aksar surgery ki salah dete hain jisme tumour ko remove karke bone graft ya metal implant ka use kiya jata hai.

Surgery ki cost kya ho sakti hai?

Cost kai factors par depend karti hai jaise:

• Hospital ka type (Government, Private ya Trust)

• Surgery kitni complex hai

• Implant ya bone graft ka requirement

• Admission aur recovery ka duration

• Aapka health insurance cover karta hai ya nahi

• Medical loan ya EMI options available hain ya nahi

🔹 Aam taur par is surgery ki cost ₹80,000 se start ho sakti hai.
👉 Lekin exact cost sirf doctor ki consultation aur proper examination ke baad hi batayi ja sakti hai.

✅ HexaHealth aapke liye Bangalore ke top surgeons aur hospitals se consultation fix karwa sakta hai.
✅ Agar aapke paas health insurance hai, to hum aapka cashless claim process karne mein bhi madad karte hain.
✅ Humare paas 0% interest wali medical finance facility bhi hai, jisse aap apna kharcha aasan monthly EMIs mein de sakte hain.

Namaste Mishra ji,

Aapki mataji ko joint pain aur diabetes dono ki dikkat hai, aur doctor ne injection ya joint replacement surgery ka suggestion diya hai — aapka concern bilkul sahi hai.

Aapko kya jankari deni chahiye?

🔹 Blood sugar control:

• Humein unka latest Fasting/Postprandial Blood Glucose aur HbA1c report dekhna hoga

• Saath hi, woh kaunsi diabetic medicines ya insulin le rahi hain, yeh bhi batayein

🔹 Dusre health issues:

• Kya unhe high BP, heart, kidney ya thyroid ki koi aur medical condition bhi hai?

Injection vs. Joint Replacement Surgery

• Kai cases mein viscosupplement injection (gel injection in joint) ya steroid injection se temporary relief milta hai

• Agar arthritis ya joint damage severe hai, to Total Joint Replacement Surgery ka option consider kiya jaata hai

Surgery for Diabetic Patients

Joint replacement surgery diabetic patients mein bhi safely ki ja sakti hai, agar unka blood glucose control mein ho

• Proper planning aur anaesthesia evaluation ke saath

• Antibiotic cover aur sugar control ke liye specialist ka involvement hota hai

---

Hamara Suggestion

• Pehle ek orthopaedic specialist se second opinion lijiye
• Saath hi ek diabetologist/endocrinologist se blood sugar manage karwana hoga
• Aapke current X-ray / MRI reports, blood sugar, and overall health evaluation ke basis par best treatment plan suggest hoga

---

Advancement in Joint Replacement Surgery

• Minimally invasive techniques – kam cut aur jaldi recovery

• Faster mobilisation – patients next day se hi support ke saath chalna shuru kar lete hain

• Long-lasting implants – 15-20 saal tak tikne wale

Hello Subhajit ji,

Aapka 3 saal purana hip joint fracture ka dard abhi tak chal raha hai, is baat ko lightly nahi lena chahiye.

Sabse pehle yeh jaanna zaroori hai ki 3 saal pehle aapka kis tareeke se treatment hua tha — kya surgery hui thi ya plaster/bed rest se ilaaj hua tha?

Abhi ke liye, ek orthopaedic doctor aapka clinical examination karega — jismein pain points dekhe jayenge. Uske baad, wo aapko recommend kar sakte hain X-ray ya MRI scan – jisse yeh samajh aaye ki bone, joint ya surrounding muscles ka status kya hai.

Iske basis par treatment plan decide hoga – jaise physiotherapy, pain management, ya agar zarurat ho to revision surgery bhi suggest ho sakti hai.

Jab tak complete diagnosis nahi hota, bhaari kaam, running aur zyada bending avoid karein.

Daily Precautions & Self-Care Tips

1. Weight-bearing se bachein : Zyada der khade rehna, bhaagna, ya heavy kaam karne se bachna chahiye. Walking stick ka sahara le sakte hain.
2. Gentle movement karein: Physiotherapist ke guidance mein halka movement aur stretching karein taaki joint stiff na ho.
3. Low sitting avoid karein: Toilet ya farsh par baithna avoid karein. Western toilet aur firm chair ka use karein.
4. Hot & cold pack ka use: Ice pack se sujan kam hoti hai (15 mins), Warm compress se stiffness relief milta hai
5. Weight management: Agar wajan zyada hai to hip pe pressure badhta hai. Sahi diet aur doctor-guided exercise follow karein.
6. Painkillers bina doctor ke na lein: Self-medication se asli problem chhup jaati hai. Doctor ke advice se hi dawai lein.
7. Supportive footwear pehnein: Flat ya ghise hue slippers ki jagah cushioned shoes pehnein.
8. Proper mattress use karein: Bahut soft bed ya farsh pe mat soyen. Firm mattress pe, pichwade ke neeche takiya rakh kar soyen.

Hi Rishi,

Sorry to hear about your injury.

A dislocated finger—especially from trauma like playing cricket—requires prompt care to avoid long-term stiffness or misalignment.

Immediate Measures You Should Take

1. Immobilize the finger – Use a splint or buddy tape it to the adjacent finger.

2. Apply ice – Helps reduce swelling and pain.

3. Avoid forcing it back – Don’t try to realign it yourself, as improper handling can worsen ligament damage.

4. Keep the hand elevated to reduce swelling.

Cost-Effective Treatment

The cost of treatment can vary depending on:

• Whether reduction (repositioning) is done manually

• If an X-ray or minor surgical intervention is needed

• If splinting and follow-up physiotherapy are required

Take care, and don’t delay treatment—early intervention ensures the best recovery!

Namaste Nagma ji,

Normal fracture healing mein 6-8 weeks lagte hain, lekin agar ab tak improvement nahi hua, toh kuch important cheezein check karna zaroori hai.

🩺 Sabse pehle yeh batayein:

• Kya fracture ke baad koi X-ray ya CT scan karwaya gaya tha?
• Kya unka plaster, plate/screw fixation ya koi aur treatment hua tha?
• Kya unhe diabetes ya osteoporosis jaisi koi health condition hai?

---

🔍 Ab kya karna chahiye:

• 2 mahine baad bhi agar bone heal nahi hui hai, toh ho sakta hai yeh delayed union ya non-union fracture ho.
• Iske liye ek orthopaedic specialist se consult karna zaroori hai. Doctor naya X-ray/scan karke dekhte hain ki fracture kahan atka hai aur kya additional treatment chahiye.

---

💡 Treatment options may include:

• Re-surgery or fixation (agar needed ho)
• Nutritional support: Calcium, Vitamin D, Protein
• Physiotherapy to avoid stiffness (only after doctor’s clearance)
