"Doctor, I used to walk to the temple and back. Now I have to sit down halfway."

I hear this almost every week in the OPD. The legs feel heavy, achy or numb after a short walk, and normal again after sitting for a few minutes. Many people blame age or weak knees. Often the cause is in the lower spine: the canal that carries the nerves has narrowed. We call it lumbar canal stenosis.

The family usually expects me to say "operate". Here is how I actually decide.

I do not advise surgery when:
• symptoms are mild and you manage daily work
• physiotherapy and medicines have not been tried properly
• only the MRI looks bad, but you walk comfortably

I discuss surgery when:
• walking distance keeps shrinking despite treatment
• leg weakness or numbness is increasing
• pain is limiting daily life

Emergency: loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin. Go to hospital at once.

World Spine Day is on 16 October. Is someone at home walking less than they did last year? Tell me in the comments what stops them: pain, heaviness or fear of falling.

"It's arthritis, it's your age." How many of you have been told this about knee pain, without anyone actually examining the knee?

World Arthritis Day is on 12 October. I'm Dr Nirmal Patil, orthopaedic and spine surgeon in Wakad, and here is what I check before I say the word arthritis:

1. Meniscus or ligament injury. Pain after a twist or fall, a knee that locks, catches or gives way.
2. Front-of-knee pain. Hurts on stairs, squatting or after long sitting. Common in younger adults and usually improves with the right exercises.
3. Gout or inflammatory arthritis. A suddenly hot, swollen joint, or morning stiffness of more than 30 minutes in many joints.
4. Pain referred from the hip or the back.

The plan for each one is different, which is why the label matters. An examination and a standing X-ray answer most questions. Blood tests or an MRI are for selected cases.

A hot, swollen knee with fever should be seen the same day.

What were you told was causing your joint pain? Tell me in the comments.

Quick check: where is your phone right now? If it is in your lap and your chin is near your chest, your neck is carrying far more than you think.

I'm Dr Nirmal Patil, spine and orthopaedic surgeon in Wakad. Upright, your head loads the neck with about 5 kg. Tilt it 60 degrees to look at a phone and that becomes roughly 27 kg. I now see this in people in their twenties, many of them desk and IT workers, with a stiff neck by evening, headaches at the back of the head and an ache between the shoulder blades.

Two things I ask every one of them to do:
1. Bring the screen up. Phone at eye level, laptop on a stand with a separate keyboard.
2. Move every 30 minutes. Stand up, walk for a minute, ten chin tucks, ten shoulder rolls.

Most tech neck settles with these habits and a few weeks of exercises. Please get it examined if the pain lasts beyond two to three weeks, runs down the arm, or you notice a weak grip or clumsy fingers.

How many hours a day are you looking down at a screen? Tell me in the comments.

Navratri is here, and after the first night of garba a lot of backs in Wakad are going to be sore.

I'm Dr Nirmal Patil, spine and orthopaedic surgeon. Here is the quick check I'd like you to do before you go back for night two.

If the pain stays in the lower back, hurts more when you bend or twist, and eases a little each day, it is most likely a muscle strain. Take one night off, keep walking gently, use ice or heat for 15 to 20 minutes, and avoid deep bending and lifting for a couple of days. Ask your doctor before taking painkillers.

If the pain shoots down one leg, often below the knee, or you feel tingling, numbness or weakness in the leg or foot, it could be a slipped disc pressing on a nerve. Please don't dance through that. Get it examined.

If you already have a disc problem or sciatica, speak to your doctor before nine nights of garba and dandiya.

Which garba or dandiya step troubles your back the most, and what do you do about it?

Garba nights start tomorrow, and so does a familiar complaint: "Doctor, my heel hurts when I get out of bed."

Most of the time this is plantar fasciitis. The thick band under your foot gets overloaded when you dance barefoot on hard ground night after night. The pain is sharp with the first few steps in the morning, settles as you walk, and comes back after a long evening on your feet.

A few simple things help: stretch your calves and the sole before you step out of bed, roll the foot on a cold bottle for 10 to 15 minutes, wear cushioned footwear at home, and take a rest night when the heel is sore.

Be careful if the pain builds while you dance, stays even when you rest, or the heel is swollen. That can be a stress injury of the heel bone and it needs an examination.

How do you look after your feet between garba nights? Tell us in the comments what has worked for you.

10 am: "Just one more email…"
7 pm: "Why does my neck hurt every evening?" 😩

That's tech neck, and we see it every week in IT professionals from Hinjewadi, Wakad and Baner. Hours of looking down at a laptop or phone overload the neck muscles and joints.

Common signs:
• Neck and shoulder stiffness
• Headaches by evening
• Pain between the shoulder blades

Quick fixes:
✔ Raise your screen to eye level
✔ Take a 2-minute break every 30 minutes
✔ Do gentle chin-tuck stretches through the day

⚠️ Numbness, tingling or weakness in the arms or hands? See a spine specialist. A nerve may be getting pressed.

⚠️ Persistent L4-L5 slipped disc or spinal instability doesn't always mean a large surgery.
With Micro Endoscopic Assisted TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion), many patients can benefit from a minimally invasive approach that aims to stabilize the spine while reducing muscle damage compared to traditional open surgery.*
✅ Smaller incision
✅ Less muscle disruption
✅ Better visualization with endoscopic assistance
✅ Potentially faster recovery in appropriately selected patients

If you've been struggling with:
✔️ Severe lower back pain
✔️ Leg pain (Sciatica)
✔️ Numbness or weakness
✔️ Difficulty walking or standing..it may be time to get your spine evaluated.
Every spine condition is unique. The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis.

⚠️ Severe Slip Disc Pain? Surgery Doesn't Always Mean a Big Cut or General Anesthesia.

Here's a look at an L5-S1 Micro Endoscopic Assisted Discectomy performed under Spinal Anesthesia (SA)—an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pressure on the affected nerve while preserving healthy tissues.

✅ Tiny incision
✅ Minimal muscle damage
✅ Less blood loss
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Early mobilization after surgery

Many patients suffering from slip disc (lumbar disc prolapse), sciatica, leg pain, numbness, or weakness often delay treatment because they fear traditional surgery. Modern endoscopic spine surgery offers a less invasive option for carefully selected patients.

Every case is unique, and the best treatment depends on a detailed clinical evaluation and MRI findings.

If persistent back pain or radiating leg pain is affecting your daily life, don't ignore the warning signs. Early diagnosis can prevent long-term nerve damage.

Consult Dr. Nirmal Patil for expert evaluation.
