Grandchild Care & Back Pain: Repeating Discseel After 6 Years (Male, 60s)

Patient Information

60s Male

Illness and Symptoms

• Disc Degeneration

Patient's Condition

The patient underwent Discseel treatment in 2019, and his symptoms had improved, but around March of this year, he began to experience recurrent episodes of lower back pain. The cause is thought to be related to caring for his grandchildren.

Examination

An MRI scan was performed, but no worsening lesions were observed compared to the 2019 MRI scan. However, there is a possibility of intervertebral disc damage that cannot be evaluated with MRI.

Treatment Details

Discseel Treatment

When an Annulogram of the intervertebral disc was performed, a slight new injury was confirmed, so Discseel Procedure was performed again.

This is how the Annulogram of the intervertebral disc looks like when being performed. The damaged area appears in black.

The treatment time was 18 minutes. Although the patient's lower back pain recurred 6 years after the treatment, it should have lasted for much longer if he hadn't put considerable strain on his back.

A Word from the Director

Yesterday was my day off, so I had a barbecue in the garden at home. It's a courtyard of about 20 square meters, which is enough for my family to enjoy.

There, my eldest son, who is in the second year of junior high school, was reading a book, and I was surprised because the book's title was "Maybe I'll Die Tomorrow?". It was so scary that I couldn't even ask if something had happened.
