I am 60 years old. I had severe back pain since last 3 years and increased in severity in last 6 months. In last few weeks I was unable to sit, walk or stand for more than 2 minutes. I visited orthopedics, neurosurgeons, Physiotherapists, bone setters, Ayurvedic and other many doctors who tried everything but to no relief. Many suggested that I need to undergo major spine surgery to fix the problem. I was really afraid as I heard many failures of the surgery in my close relatives and friends. My family was also against surgery. But due to pain the life has become very sad.
I didn't wanted to live. One day my son found pain clinic of India in internet and he contacted them. He spoke to Dr Kailash Kothari and fixed an appointment for me. I took all my recent reports with me. After EXAMINING ME IN DEPTH (no one examined me before this, everyone just looked at MRI) and looking at my MRI he said the problem can be solved without surgery and with a small injection in the back called tans foraminal epidural. Since we stay far from his clinic, and I was brought in ambulance, it was impossible for us to come back for injection.
He said since all blood tests are fine and injection is a day care procedure, he can do it immediately. We were more than happy to go for that. I took the injection done by dr kothari under X-ray guidance. To my surprise when I got up from OT table, I would feel 70% relief in my back and legs, I could wear my cloths standing immediately post injection (which was impossible before). It was huge difference.
He suggested to take one more injection after 3 weeks if pain remains. Since I had 70% relief so I took second injection. It just changed my life. Now I am pain free and almost 3 years since then I am still doing good without any damn pain.
I regret that no one told me about pain management before and I had suffer unnecessary for almost 3 years. Thank you Dr Kothari and god bless you
