“Thanks to God, the pain has completely disappeared, and I have been able to return to my daily routine.”
For several years, Ms. Fatema Al Shehhi had been suffering from chronic lower back pain that radiated down her leg. The pain worsened with movement and caused muscle spasms, significantly impacting her quality of life. Despite trying various conservative treatments, her symptoms persisted. An MRI showed lumbar disc degenerative changes, diffuse disc bulges, and disc protrusions with nerve compression. To address the issue, Dr. Syed Kabir, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Burjeel Hospital Abu Dhabi Al Najda, performed a minimally invasive procedure called Bilateral Radiofrequency Ablation with Caudal Epidural Injection.This targeted treatment is designed to reduce pain and inflammation by focusing on the specific nerves causing discomfort. The procedure involves using radiofrequency energy to heat and deactivate the affected nerves, providing relief from pain.
Following the procedure, Ms. Fatema experienced significant improvement in her symptoms. The pain that had plagued her for so long was greatly reduced. Dr. Syed Kabir and his team closely monitored her recovery and were thrilled to report that her symptoms had significantly improved, allowing her to return to her normal life. Ms. Fatema is greatly thankful to the medical team at Burjeel Abu Dhabi Al Najda for their dedication and support throughout her treatment.
This case highlights the power of minimally invasive procedures in treating various conditions.
