John Malhotra, a 58-year-old software architect,...
John Malhotra, a 58-year-old software architect, noticed a gradual but alarming weakness in his left hand. Over a year, his grip failed, making it hard to type, hold a coffee mug, or even button his shirt. He feared it was a stroke, but MRI revealed severe cervical radiculopathy, a pinched nerve in his neck from years of poor posture at his desk. His neurologist, Dr. Rodriguez, explained that conservative treatments had failed and recommended an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) to remove the disc pressing on the nerve. The surgery was a major event, requiring a hospital stay and a neck brace. Recovery was slow and required diligent physical therapy. However, after three months, the strength began to return to his hand. John's emotional state shifted from anxiety about his career and independence to patient determination during rehab, culminating in triumphant relief when he could finally give a firm handshake again and return to his projects.
