“The past ten years of my life, I lived with pain, much restricted mobility, and a bent body posture. I used to visit Orthopedics in Kenya at regular intervals and most of the time I was put on painkillers. Approximately two and a half years ago, the doctor diagnosed it as a spine problem and this time medicines, Physiotherapy, and traction were also prescribed. But all these did not help. Contrary to the expected positive outcomes of the treatment, my condition worsened.
In the meantime, I happened to visit Shalby Clinic in Kenya and met Dr. Shailesh Rathod. On initial investigations of my MRI and X-rays and consultation with him, he suggested Shalby Hospitals, India for my surgery. Thus, my husband and I reached Krishna Shalby, Ghuma, Bopal, and Ahmedabad on February 23, 2018, and consulted Dr. Bhavik Patel and Dr. Vishal Bahuva, Spine Surgeons. After a thorough investigation, they confirmed the condition as “Multilvel Disc Herniation with Slipped Bones“. Subsequently, I underwent surgery on 28th February 2018.
On the surgery table, some magic happened. When I woke up, I was completely free from the pain that haunted me for years! Now I walk with good momentum, straight like an arrow. The doctor team and staff here are very good at their jobs. They consult each other and you feel healed even before they touch you. That’s the confidence level, they instill in patients. I never felt like a patient at Shalby during my stay, instead, I lived here like a family member.”
