Nigerian Patient Returns to a Pain-Free Life After Spine Surgery

Patient Name: Mr. Mohammed Danjari Sanda 

Age: 71 Years

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Nigeria

Doctor Name: Dr. Puneet Girdhar

Hospital Name: BLK Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi

Treatment: Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)

Every morning, Mr. Mohammed Danjari Sanda woke to a dull, persistent ache creeping from his lower back up to his neck. Simple movements like getting out of bed or reaching for a cup became battles with sharp pain. For this 71 year old from Nigeria, back and neck pain had changed daily life into a huge struggle.

Devastating pain led him to seek treatment abroad, and that's when he found out about Vaidam. The patient had his choice of Doctor sorted out before; he wanted to get treated by Dr. Puneet Girdhar.

As soon as the patient gave a green flag for the arrangements, within a week, we arranged all of the necessities such as medical visa, flight tickets, accommodation, and doctor appointments.

Mr. Mohammed, as he reached the airport, our dedicated team was there to pick him up from the airport and take him to the hotel. After evaluating him, Dr. Puneet suggested that he undergo an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) because he was experiencing issues at C3-C4-C5-C6. This treatment is known to treat pain in the neck, numbness, or weakness caused by herniated discs or nerve compression.

The patient stayed in the hospital for just 2-3 days; after that, he was given clearance to rest at home. For full recovery, he stayed in India for 2 weeks and then returned to his home in Nigeria.

Seeing Mr. Mohammed pain-free makes us want to do more of such great work!
