bollywood superstar โSalman Khan recently underwent an eight-hour surgery to address debilitating pain causedโข by โtrigeminal neuralgia, a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve. The actor revealed the extent of his โฃsuffering, describing the pain as โคexcruciating and unimaginable.
Khan,โฃ 58, publicly disclosed his health โbattle on โSeptemberโ 24, 2023,โ explaining he had been โquietly enduring the condition for years. Trigeminal neuralgia โฃcauses intense, stabbing or electric shock-like pain in the face, and can significantly impact quality of life. Khan stated, “You would notโค want your biggest enemy to have โคthat pain.” โThe surgery, โขperformed in โMumbai, aimed to โคalleviateโค the nerve compression causing the condition.
The actor explained that the pain became unbearable, prompting โขhim to seek medical intervention. He initially attempted to manage the symptoms with medication, but the relief was temporary. Khan’s โdecision to undergoโค the complex procedure underscores the severity of trigeminal neuralgia and the potential for surgical solutions when โconservativeโ treatments โฃfail. He is now recovering andโค expects a fullโข return to โhis film commitments. The condition affects an estimated 1 in 15,000 people,and can be caused by a number of factors,including blood vessel compression of the trigeminal nerve.
