Mediclaim / Cashless
A Cashless Mediclaim is one such advantage that is offered today by most insurers. It helps avoid the reimbursement formalities by taking care of the treatment cost. Yes, that’s right. Under a cashless Mediclaim, medical bills are directly settled by the insurance company, provided the total bill amount falls within the assured limit and the hospital is a network hospital.

Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and the neck.
Some people with spinal stenosis may not have symptoms. Others may experience pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. Symptoms can worsen over time.
Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
Many people have evidence of spinal stenosis on an MRI or CT scan but may not have symptoms. When they do occur, they often start gradually and worsen over time.
- Numbness or tingling in a hand, arm, foot or leg
- Weakness in a hand, arm, foot or leg
- Problems with walking and balance
- Neck pain
- Pain or cramping in one or both legs when you stand for long periods of time or when you walk, which usually eases when you bend forward or sit
Causes & Effects
The backbone (spine) runs from your neck to your lower back.
- Overgrowth of bone: Wear and tear damage from osteoarthritis on your spinal bones can prompt the formation of bone spurs, which can grow into the spinal canal.
- Herniated disks: TThe soft cushions that act as shock absorbers between your vertebrae tend to dry out with age. Cracks in a disk's exterior may allow some of the soft inner material to escape and press on the spinal cord or nerves.
- Tumors: Abnormal growths can form inside the spinal cord, within the membranes that cover the spinal cord or in the space between the spinal cord and vertebrae. These are uncommon and identifiable on spine imaging with an MRI or CT.
- Thickened ligaments: The tough cords that help hold the bones of your spine together can become stiff and thickened over time.
Advantages of Knee Replacement
Some of the advantages of Spinal Stenosis
- One of the main purposes of the surgery is to remove the thing that is causing compression of the nerves in the spine, giving more space for the spinal canal and the nerves within (this is called lumbar decompression surgery, or laminectomy).
- The presence of instability, due to the removal of more than 50% of the facet joints or the underlying spondylolisthesis, usually requires stabilization with a fusion procedure (XLIF, TLIF, PLFI).
- Who undergo laminectomy can go back to their office job a few days after the surgery. Meanwhile, those who undergo spinal fusion are likely to be able to go back to work after a few weeks.
