Transcript of the video above.
This is Ramesh from Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. I had hip pain in my right leg. I used a lot of medicines at the time, thinking it would recover. But after that I had the problem again. 2 months after consulting, I approached the orthopedic doctor at NR Hospital in Vijayawada. They took an X-ray first. After seeing the X-ray, they also ordered an MRI scan. They concluded that I had AVN, meaning avascular necrosis. Because of this disease, my hips were damaged starting at 20 to 30%. In my right leg I had grade 3. In my left leg I had grade 2. Why did this happen? I didn't know why or how it happened. They asked, did you have corona or something similar before? Yes, I had corona during the month of May 2021 and at that time I consumed steroids. Because of the steroids used at that time, it had a side effect where there was no blood circulation in my hip joint. bone. Because of that, the hip bone started to die. So they suggested core decompression, bone grafting, and some physiotherapy. After this, it might be useful for 3 to 4 years. If it is not successful, then I would have to be admitted for hip replacement. I was afraid of all these things. Why? Because I am 42 years old and. I have a family. If I undergo this hip replacement, I would have to take rest for at least 6 to 9 months. I cannot afford that much time off. At the same time, I am not interested in replacing my original body parts. Then I searched Google and the internet for options other than allopathy. But at the same time, I also searched for many doctors in allopathy. I took appointments with them. They all came to the same conclusion: core decompression or total replacement. Even though my pain was severe, I knew it wasn't right to undergo surgery at this moment. Then I searched on Google if there were any possibilities in Ayurveda. Then I got information about AVN Hospital in Madurai. Then I calledthem and took an appointment. First of all, they received my appointment online and reviewed all of my reports. Then they reached a conclusion. At that time there was a 10 minute communication, like a teleconsultation between the doctor and me. Like, we don't worry, there is no total, there is no total solution, but we will treat. We will, that means we have to stop it at your stage itself. It doesn't grow. uh, so by giving the treatment here, you can do all your normal activities, regular activities. They gave that hope to me. Then I came here in the month of, I think March 23, 2022. uh, then they gave me treatment like Ayurvedic therapy and physiotherapy, uh, AVN Arogya. uh, day by day my improvement is there. After 1 week, I had uh relief. uh. My coming, like as I go on, as I go, no, it is the 3rd week now. I am 70% recovered. I have confidence I can do my regular activities, the normal activities that we do regularly by myself. So it is all thanks to Ramesh sir. Services to patients are also very good, awesome.
