Spine conditions assessed
Read the guide that matches your symptoms before the visit. Leg pain on walking points towards stenosis; sharp leg pain after bending or lifting is more typical of a slipped disc.
Not all conditions require surgery. Treatment options are discussed after clinical examination and imaging review.

Questions about spine assessment for Selangor patients
Is there a Dr Yee spine clinic in Shah Alam or Klang?
No. Dr Yee’s clinic in Selangor is at KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital, Damansara Utama. On Monday afternoons he also consults at Columbia Asia Hospital Seremban, in Negeri Sembilan.
My leg pain comes on when I walk and eases when I sit. What could it be?
That pattern is typical of lumbar spinal stenosis, but reduced blood flow to the legs can feel similar. Examination and, where needed, imaging help tell them apart.
Do I need a new MRI?
Not always. A recent MRI done after the current symptoms began is often enough. Bring the images and the report; a new scan is suggested only if the old one cannot answer the question.
How do I book a spine appointment from outside Petaling Jaya?
Send a WhatsApp message to the clinic team or use the online appointment form. WhatsApp is for booking only and is not monitored for emergencies.
Can a pinched nerve in the neck cause hand numbness?
Yes. A compressed nerve root in the neck can cause pain, tingling or numbness into the arm and hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome can feel similar, and examination helps tell them apart.
