“I Was in Agony — Now I’m Walking Pain-Free in the Sun” Trevor’s Spinal Surgery with Healthcare Abroad

“Hi, I’m Trevor, from County Limerick. I came to Spain with Healthcare Abroad to get surgery on my lower back after months of pain. I had a discectomy, which cleaned out the damaged disc and took the pressure off my sciatic nerve. From the moment I arrived in Dénia, everything moved fast. I met the consultant on Monday, had scans and tests, and was in for surgery by Wednesday afternoon. I was expecting to stay in hospital until Friday, but they released me on Thursday — I was already up and walking.”

Instant Relief After Surgery

“I couldn’t believe the difference. Nearly 98% of my pain was gone. Most of my pain wasn’t even in my back — it was shooting down from my ankle to my calf. But when I woke up, it was just gone. Instant relief. Now, just 9 days post-op, I’m walking around the pool, enjoying the sunshine, and getting daily physio at HCB Dénia. The care and attention I’ve received from Healthcare Abroad and the hospital staff has been absolutely top class. I genuinely couldn’t fault a single thing.”

Looking Ahead

“Before this, I couldn’t drive, put on socks, or walk properly. I’m an active person, and losing that hit hard. But now, I’m on the road to recovery. I’m looking forward to getting back to my two boys, back to normality, and my wife is thrilled she doesn’t have to help me put on socks anymore!”
