A 55-year-old woman had been quietly struggling for months. It started with back pain—something she thought would pass. But over time, her legs grew weaker. Walking became difficult. Eventually, even standing was hard. That’s when her family brought her to the Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals, Begumpet.

Our doctors ran a series of tests. The diagnosis was serious—a tumour near her spine was pressing against her spinal cord. That pressure was what had been causing her pain and weakening her legs. Surgery was the only option, and it had to be done quickly. ”

Dr. Himanshu Prasad, Senior Spine Surgeon, explained the complexity of the case. The margin for error was small. But with the family’s consent, the team proceeded. The spine cancer surgery lasted nearly six hours. The tumour was carefully removed and the spine was stabilised using special implants. Post-surgery, she was monitored closely.

To everyone’s relief, signs of recovery appeared just a day later. Her legs responded. The pain eased. She is now undergoing rehabilitation and doctors are confident that she will be walking again.

This wasn’t just another procedure—it was life-changing. For the patient and her family, it meant hope. For the team at Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute, it is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do: to help people get their lives back.
