This patient is a foreigner, suffering for two years of sciatica, foot pain and numbness.

But the x-ray photos in the past two years are completely normal!

During the visit to Hong Kong, there was severe pain. MRI magnetic resonance revealed a 2cm L4 benign nerve sheath tumor, squeezing the sciatic nerve.

This was the operation on Saturday six months ago. After a 5-hour minimally invasive microscopy operation, the tumor was completely gone. His pain for two years disappeared immediately. He was discharged from the hospital and flew back to his hometown in France on the second day.

So… back pain +/- leg pain or numbness… MRI magnetic resonance is a must!

(#) This is an individual case, and the actual results vary from person to person.
