For months, she had been battling severe lower back pain accompanied by bilateral radiating pain down both legs. Her daily life, mobility, and confidence were slowly slipping away as the pain persisted and escalated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she visited <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/dr-hitesh-garg-spine-surgeon-india.html\">Dr. Hitesh Garg, Head of Spine Surgery at Artemis Hospita<\/a>l<\/strong>, she was evaluated through a detailed clinical examination, blood tests, and spine imaging. The diagnosis revealed something far more serious than routine back pain \u2014 she was suffering from lumbar spondylodiscitis, an infection involving the spinal discs and adjacent vertebrae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the urgency and the risk of progression, Dr. Garg recommended lumbar fixation from L2 to L5 along with a spine biopsy to confirm the type of infection and stabilise her spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Successful Surgery &amp; Remarkable Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Her surgery was carried out using advanced spine instrumentation and precise surgical techniques. The infected and unstable segments were stabilised, relieving pressure from nerves and correcting the source of her pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazingly, the very next day, she began experiencing noticeable relief. Her leg pain began to settle, her mobility improved, and her confidence returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new-230x230.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PRE-OP-MRI_new-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a two-week monitored recovery in India, she happily flew back to Iraq \u2014 pain-free, stable, and grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Lumbar Spondylodiscitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumbar spondylodiscitis is an infection that affects one or more spinal discs and the vertebrae next to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be caused by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bacterial infection spreading through the bloodstream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuberculosis (TB) \u2013 a common cause in Asian and Middle Eastern regions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post-surgical infection (rare)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immunocompromised states, diabetes or chronic illness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Untreated infections elsewhere in the body that silently travel to the spine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Symptoms<\/strong> often include severe back pain, fever, difficulty walking, and radiating pain in the legs. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent nerve damage, spinal instability, or deformity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dr. Hitesh Garg\u2019s Expert Opinion on Spondylodiscitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr. Garg,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpondylodiscitis often goes unrecognised in early stages because patients assume the pain is muscular or age-related. In reality, it is frequently caused by infections\u2014especially tuberculosis or bacteria\u2014that travel through the blood. If neglected, it can damage the spine, cause nerve compression, and lead to paralysis. Prompt diagnosis and stabilising surgery are essential for recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasises that treating the infection and stabilising the spine simultaneously offers the best long-term results, ensuring patients regain mobility and a pain-free life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Journey of Strength &amp; Healing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1-230x230.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.centerspineindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/WITH-DR-GARG-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, this brave woman from Iraq stands tall \u2014 pain-free, mobile, and healthy \u2014 after receiving world-class care at Artemis Hospital.
