The Kampala City Lord Mayor has flown to New Delhi, India for a specialized Anterior Cervical Disc and Fusion surgery.
Erias Lukwago revealed this in an X post on 24th April, 2024 saying his medical journey to New Delhi is as a result of several referrals by neurosurgeons and other physicians.
Lukwago says the purpose of the surgery is to remove the herniated that has bothered him for over 2 months with excruciating pain tingling in his back and upper left limb.
Herniated is an abnormal condition or process in which an organ or other tissue protrudes through an opening as in an organ’s surrounding walls or some other narrow space.
A problem with the vertebral column always causes severe pain because the spinal cord (which is actually an extension of the brain), the CNS (central nervous system) contains major sensory neurons making conducts with the motor neurons.
