Back Pain in Hanumangarh
What Hanumangarh patients should know
In elderly patients at the Hanumangarh OPD, new back pain after a minor fall, or even a bout of coughing, can be an osteoporotic compression fracture that is easily missed. It is worth checking, because the same weak bone puts the hip and wrist at risk too, and treatment to strengthen the bones can be started from the OPD.
Patients come from Hanumangarh Junction, Nohar, Bhadra, Pilibanga, Rawatsar and across Hanumangarh district
385 km to Jaipur for surgery · approx. 7–8 hours by road
When to get back pain checked
- Leg pain below the knee lasting more than six weeks
- Weakness in the leg or foot, or difficulty lifting the toes
- Back pain after a fall in an older person
- Back pain with fever, unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer
- Night pain that does not ease with rest or change of position
Emergency: Loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin and buttocks, is an emergency: go to the nearest hospital immediately.
Common Causes
What usually causes back pain
Most back pain is mechanical, from strained muscles and ligaments or age-related wear in the spine, and it settles with time, activity and the right exercises. The orthopedic consultation is about finding the minority of cases that need more: an osteoporotic fracture, a trapped nerve, or pain that is actually coming from the hip. Dr. Agrawal is a joint replacement and arthroscopy surgeon, not a spine surgeon: if spine surgery is needed, you will be told so and referred to a spine specialist.
Mechanical back strain
Pain in the lower back after lifting, bending or long hours sitting or driving. The most common cause, and it usually improves within weeks.
Disc problems and sciatica
Pain running from the back down the leg, often below the knee, sometimes with tingling or numbness. Most settles without surgery.
Osteoporotic compression fracture
Sudden back pain in an older person after a minor fall, lifting or even a cough. Often missed, and a warning sign that the bones need treatment.
Hip arthritis mistaken for back pain
Pain around the buttock and thigh that is actually from the hip joint. Treating the back will not help; the hip needs assessing.
Posture and occupational strain
Repeated bending, heavy lifting, tractor driving and prolonged standing load the spine. Changing how the work is done often matters more than medicine.
Treatment
How back pain is treated
Step 1
Treatment without surgery
Tried first, and enough for most patients.
- Staying active: bed rest slows recovery from most back pain
- Core-strengthening and flexibility exercises with a physiotherapist
- Short courses of pain medicine to allow movement
- Lifting technique, posture and work adjustments
- Bone density assessment and osteoporosis treatment where fractures are suspected
Step 2
When surgery is genuinely needed
Advised only when non-surgical treatment has been properly tried, or the problem will not heal without it.
Spine surgery for disc prolapse, canal stenosis or instability is not performed here. Where it is needed, you will be referred to a spine surgeon.

Consultation Days
Every 3rd Thursday of the month
1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Mahaveer Lab
Near Government Hospital, Hanumangarh Town, Hanumangarh, Rajasthan
If Surgery Is Advised
Consult locally, operate in Jaipur, follow up locally
Hanumangarh is about 385 km from Jaipur via Sikar and Churu, with rail connectivity through Hanumangarh Junction. The monthly OPD means consultation, imaging review and follow-up are handled in Hanumangarh Town. Only the surgery requires a trip to Jaipur.
Consult Dr. Agrawal at the Hanumangarh OPD
Personal examination by Dr. Agrawal, review of your X-rays or MRI, and a clear written opinion on whether surgery is actually needed, at Mahaveer Lab, every 3rd Thursday of the month. No travel to Jaipur required for this step.
Surgery in Jaipur, by the same surgeon
If surgery is advised, Dr. Agrawal performs it himself in Jaipur at Narayana Hospital or Orthoklinik, Pratap Nagar. Admission, implant selection and insurance paperwork are arranged in advance so the trip is a single planned visit.
Follow-up back in Hanumangarh
Post-operative review, suture removal, physiotherapy guidance and implant checks happen at the next Hanumangarh OPD, so recovery does not mean repeated long-distance travel.

FAQ
Back Pain in Hanumangarh: common questions
Where can I get back pain treated in Hanumangarh?+
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal assesses back pain at his Hanumangarh OPD at Mahaveer Lab, every 3rd Thursday of the month, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM. The consultation covers examination, review of your X-rays or MRI, and a written plan. If surgery is needed, it is performed in Jaipur at Narayana Hospital or Orthoklinik, 183/82, Rana Sanga Marg, Sector 18, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302033.
My mother's back pain began after a small fall. Could it be a fracture?+
It could be. In older patients, especially women, a minor fall can cause an osteoporotic compression fracture of the spine. An X-ray can be reviewed at the Hanumangarh OPD, and if a fracture is found, pain relief, bracing if appropriate and bone-strengthening treatment are discussed.
Do I need an MRI for back pain?+
Usually not at first. Most back pain improves within a few weeks, and MRI often shows age-related changes that are not causing the pain. An MRI is useful when there is leg weakness, pain running below the knee that is not settling, or warning signs such as fever or weight loss.
Does Dr. Agrawal perform spine surgery?+
No. Dr. Agrawal is a joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma surgeon. He assesses back pain to find the cause, manages mechanical pain and osteoporotic fractures, and identifies when the hip rather than the spine is the problem. If you need spine surgery, you will be told plainly and referred to a spine specialist.
Should I rest in bed with back pain?+
No. For most back pain, staying gently active speeds recovery, while prolonged bed rest weakens the muscles and slows it down. Short periods of rest during a bad flare are fine, followed by a gradual return to walking and normal activity.
Do I need an appointment for back pain at the Hanumangarh OPD?+
Yes, it is strongly recommended. The Hanumangarh OPD runs on fixed days each month and slots are limited. Call or WhatsApp +91 92106 96045 to book, and bring all X-rays, MRI reports and prescriptions related to your back pain.
हिंदी में जानकारी
हनुमानगढ़ में कमर दर्द: आम सवाल
हनुमानगढ़ में कमर दर्द का इलाज कहाँ करवाएँ?+
डॉ. हेमेंद्र अग्रवाल हर महीने के तीसरे गुरुवार को दोपहर 1 से शाम 5 बजे महावीर लैब, सरकारी अस्पताल के पास, हनुमानगढ़ टाउन में ओपीडी लेते हैं। यहाँ कमर दर्द की जाँच, एक्स-रे और एमआरआई रिपोर्ट देखकर सलाह और इलाज की लिखित योजना दी जाती है। ऑपरेशन की ज़रूरत हो तो वह जयपुर में होता है, और बाद की जाँच फिर से हनुमानगढ़ ओपीडी में हो जाती है। अपॉइंटमेंट के लिए +91 92106 96045 पर कॉल या व्हाट्सऐप करें।
कमर दर्द में क्या आराम करना चाहिए या चलना-फिरना?+
ज़्यादातर कमर दर्द में हल्का चलना-फिरना जल्दी ठीक करता है, लंबे समय तक बिस्तर पर आराम करने से मांसपेशियाँ कमज़ोर होती हैं। अगर दर्द घुटने से नीचे पैर में जाए, पैर में कमज़ोरी लगे, या बुज़ुर्ग को गिरने के बाद दर्द शुरू हो, तो डॉक्टर को दिखाएँ। पेशाब या शौच पर नियंत्रण न रहे तो तुरंत नज़दीकी अस्पताल जाएँ। डॉ. अग्रवाल रीढ़ (स्पाइन) की सर्जरी नहीं करते; ज़रूरत होने पर स्पाइन सर्जन के पास भेजा जाता है।
