Transcript of the video above. Translated from Telugu.
My name is Ramesh. I have come from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh. I developed a lot of pain at the right leg, at the hip. At first I simply used some medicines. It reduced then, but when I stopped the medicines it would come again. Wondering what this was, I went to a hospital in our Vijayawada. What they said was: first an X-ray, and after that they had an MRI scan taken. What they said finally was that I had a disease called AVN. I did not know what AVN was; they said it was avascular necrosis. When I asked how it had come about, they asked whether I had had Corona earlier. Yes, I had had Corona. At that time steroids were used on me. What they said was that because of using steroids the blood circulation stopped, and because of what happened to the bone going to the hip, the hip was damaged by 20 to 30% — so they said this was stage 3. First they mentioned three small surgeries, and that after some time a hip replacement would have to be done. I was very frightened, because my age is forty-two. At forty-two, to have a hip replacement and then what — my future looked very uncertain. I asked then. In allopathy I consulted a great many people, in Vijayawada, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. But all of them said the same thing: there are some small operations, or else a big operation. So what was I to do? Searching online for whether there was any remedy other than that, I came to know there was an AVN Arogya Ayurveda hospital. Looking into it and finding out what it was, I learned that there would be a solution there for my problem. Then I took an appointment online. I came here. When I came my leg was very painful. To put it one way, it was difficult to walk. Another thing was that walking brought on a lot of pain and there was no comfort. After that, after I came here, Ramesh sir is very good. Sir came and said, first of all do not be tense. After that, dailytherapies here — Ayurvedic therapy and physiotherapy simultaneously; after taking them simultaneously like that, in about one week there was a lot of change for me. After that, although it regenerated somewhat, from the third week I have recovered almost 60 to 70%. From the stage of being told that for this I absolutely must have an operation and that it would not reduce otherwise, a hope has come here that I do not need an operation. So I am very thankful to sir. I cannot say much here, because there are some things that cannot be said. Coming to the service, the administration here is okay and good. First, as a patient, one has to see whether the treatment here is right or not. By my reckoning that is what mattered — I have recovered to a great extent, so that is what I focused on. All the rest are small things, and there is nothing to say about the service being bad.
