my mom illness......

 

First , I would like to thanks everyone for all the warm wishes to my mom ,

currently she's getting better , speedy recovery , thank you Allah

A lot has been asking what was my mom illness ,

occay , she got this disease called the degenerative disc disease ...

what happened is , the disc between her spine - lumbar bones , lost its funtion

the disc is supposed to be the cushions between the spine bones ,

however in my mother case , the disc is " corrupted "

due to ... well , let me put it this way ,

my mom works hard day and night to raise her kids ,

working everyday as a teacher , and also as housewife...

had taken it's toll on her...

the pressure was too much ,

and the disc cannot bear the pressure on the lumbar...

hence , it's herniated / potrude...

 

eventually , as the pressure on the disc worsen everyday ,

it herniated inside ..

and hit the nerve ..

which cause the symptoms  ... painful during walking  ( back pain and also pain at the lower limbs)..

and worse , cause numbness to the lower limb

it's typical in elderly people..

more common in elderly ladies

and my mom is on of it casualty

the pain worsening during standing  , walking .. and worst when u bend down

it's relieved by resting ...

and eventually , 

u'll need surgery to release the pain..

So, yes, eventually my mom opted for surgical intervention
as she cant bear the pain anymore
she undergo discectomy and decompression for her lumbar stenosis last tuesday
it was a succesful operation, everything went well
currently she's recovering ,
but still warded..
cant wait to see my mom walks again....
