Indian playback singer Sonu Nigam is undergoing medical treatment for a painful pinched-nerve condition [1].

The health struggle is significant because the condition has impacted the singer's throat, potentially threatening his vocal performance and upcoming professional commitments.

Nigam said he has been receiving treatment for the past week [2]. To diagnose and manage the condition, he has undergone a series of medical evaluations, including physiotherapy and imaging. "Have been taking MRI and CT scans," Nigam said [4].

The singer described the severity of the physical toll, stating, "Bohot takleef mein tha" [1]. Despite the pain and the medical requirements, Nigam said he refuses to cancel his scheduled appearances. He is currently focused on recovery while maintaining his performance calendar, a decision that comes just days before a major event in India.

Nigam confirmed his intention to honor his commitment to fans in Maharashtra. "I will perform at my Mumbai concert on June 27," he said [3].

The pinched nerve has caused severe pain and specifically affected the throat area [4]. This has necessitated the combination of diagnostic scans and physical therapy to ensure he can return to full vocal capacity [1].

“"Bohot takleef mein tha"”

The intersection of a nerve condition and throat impact is particularly critical for a professional vocalist, where precise muscle control is essential. By opting for aggressive physiotherapy and diagnostic imaging while refusing to cancel shows, Nigam is attempting to balance acute medical recovery with the high physical demands of live performance.
