Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Mrs. Bendu Ballah, a young medical practitioner who is on the verge of being paralyzed, is now seeking financial assistance from members of the public to facilitate a much-needed surgical intervention abroad.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old 72nd community, Paynesville resident told this newspaper that she has been enduring severe pains in her lower back and some abnormal sensations since October of last year\u2014a situation that has rendered her bedridden, practically unable to walk and attend to herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not only feeling pains but I\u2019m no longer able to move by myself. I cannot do anything for myself anymore. I\u2019m in too much distress and I need help so that I can have a chance of a normal life again,\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m too young to be suffering this much,\u201d Mrs. Ballah, who medical experts have warned would become paralyzed if she does not seek medical attention abroad urgently.<\/p>\n

It all started for Bendu last October when she experienced a sharp pain in her lower back while leaving work at the Kolahun Medical Center in her native Lofa County. She had been doing voluntary services at the center upon graduation from medical school in 2018.<\/p>\n

After nearly a month of living in pains and agony, Bendu was transferred to Monrovia for further attention after her colleagues in the county tried unsuccessfully to solve to the problem.<\/p>\n

She was diagnosed with Moderate Lumbar Canal Stenosis with Radiculopathy in February of this year after numerous tests at both Jahmale Diagnostic Center and the St. Joseph\u2019s Catholic Hospital in Monrovia.<\/p>\n

Moderate spinal stenosis is the intermediate stage of spinal stenosis \u2014 a category somewhere between mild and severe spinal stenosis, according to the USA Spine Care & Orthopedics website.<\/p>\n

It can cause pain in the low back or buttocks, abnormal sensations, and the absence of sensation (numbness) in the legs, thighs, feet, or buttocks, or loss of bladder and bowel control.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alvin Nah Doe, a Neurosurgeon Consultant, at the St. Joseph\u2019s Catholic Hospital in Monrovia, who carried out the diagnosis, has since advised that she be taken out of the country and as the condition cannot be handled in the country.<\/p>\n

He indicated that neuro-decompressive surgery with probable fusion instrumentation is recommended. \u201cDue to the non-availability of the spinal fusion and instrumentation sets, we advised that the patient seeks further management in a center that is equipped with the spine system,\u201d a summary of a medical report signed by Dr. Doe says.<\/p>\n

A physically drained Bendu could not hold back tears as she expressed fear of eventually becoming paralyzed if she did not need assistance to undergo the surgery abroad. The sickness has not only deprived the mother of three of the opportunities to fend for the family, the condition has brought unbearable hardship upon her household\u2014a heavy burden the 33-year-old wishes daily to get rid of.<\/p>\n

Her hope, however, faints by the day as help seems to be coming from nowhere for surgery. She has therefore decided to come to the public for assistance.<\/p>\n

She is calling on humanitarians and philanthropists to help save her life. \u201cI\u2019m dying my people\u2026 y\u2019all please help to save my life. My condition is getting worse and my family does not have the means to pay for the surgery,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m drained by the day and I want to call on Liberians and foreigners of kind hearts to help me out. It is not easy; the pain is too much for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She made specific references to the Spoon Foundation of Stanton Witherspoon and the Cummings Foundation as well as the Costa Show to come to her rescue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the Spoon Foundation, and Cummings Foundation families to help take me out of this suffering. I\u2019m looking up to them and other Liberians to help me. And also to my brother, Henry Costa, your sister is dying and she needs your help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts say that when one hasmoderate spinal stenosis (MSS), the symptoms are a constant reminder that the spinal canal is continuing to narrow in some areas, and as this occurs, the person may have trouble standing up straight, walking for long distances or getting out of bed without considerable pain.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a greater concern, they say, is the fact that MSS can be a progressive condition and as such its sufferer may have to contend with the condition worsening into Severe Spinal Stenosis (SSS)\u2014and for Bendu, this is her greatest fear. \u201cI don\u2019t want the situation to become severe. I don\u2019t want to get paralyzed. I cry every day not to reach that level. I\u2019m too young,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A 2018 graduate of the Peace Home Medical School located at Neezoe Junction, Paynesville, Bendu left Monrovia immediately upon graduating for her native Lofa County where she was rendering voluntary service at the Kolahun health center prior to the unfortunate incident. No help has been coming from the center since she came back. Its administrators have practically cut ties with her, she said. \u201cI served that county for more than two years without getting a dime. But to check on me and see how I\u2019m doing is difficult for them,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n

\u201cI served my county diligently and this was supposed to be the time for them to stand with me, but they are nowhere\u2026such is life.\u201d She however noted that it is not late for them to act. \u201cI need help from everyone as it is still possible for the surgery to be performed. She called on senatorial aspirant, Momo T. Cyrus, \u201cto hear her cry and intervene in her situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bendu said she has been in a different world of my own since this sickness started. \u201cIt has been too traumatic for me,\u201d she said, adding that because of her condition, she has not been able to \u201clive the life of a normal person.\u201d<\/p>\n

She needs to undergo a surgery, which, if successful, will contribute to her longevity. \u201cThis is why I\u2019m pleading with the Liberian public to come to my aid.<\/p>\n

Contacts made so far with a medical facility in India, which says it can perform the surgery, put the cost at US$8,000. An additional US$4,000 is needed for airfares and accommodation for the two weeks of stay in that country.<\/p>\n
