Hare Krishna! On 15-Dec-16, I had difficulty to walk and stand which I ignored and later I had trouble bending my knee. But I ignored and went on. The next day I contiuned distributing pamphlets and the knee pain only increased So I purchased knee ointment thinking this would relieve my pain. Next day morning I had oversee Newspaper insertions I was barely able to walk and my knee had swollen.
I rushed to the Residency and took rest and immediately went to physiothreapist. Momentarily, I got rid of the pain and felt better by the treatment. On Physiothearpist advice I got X-ray of my Right knee, later in report it indicated there was patellar spur. I was take complete bedrest, use crutches. Thanks to my Boss, I took bed rest. and my nature of job was changed to calling. But since I was not able to dance infront Lord Gaura-Nitai, I was very unhappy. The swelling had gone but I was not able to walk normally even in late January.
I was disgusted with physiotherapist and Orthopaedic because each had a different version for my case and everyone was hinting Surgery or Ligament Repair. I got an MRI done of my Right Knee on 6-Feb-17. And MRI Report said, Vertical tear in Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL) and meniscus tear. I did not want surgery. I searched on Internet and consulted many doctors online. One of the doctors suggested PRP. But he was in Delhi. Hence I searched for PRP in Mumbai and later I contacted Pain Clinic of India. And Dr.Kothari suggested two therapies Dextrose Prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma injections(PRP). Since I follow Srila Prabhupada, I wanted to be sure that any therapy administered to me was purely vegetarian and Dr. Kothari assured me that Dextrose was 100% vegetarian. I took 12%, 18%, 25% and 25% of Dextrose respectively from 12-Feb-17, 6-Mar-17, 27-Mar-17 and 11-May-17. And parallely I underwent Physiotherapy treatment and INTERFERENCE Therapy, I could see the difference and I was able to walk normally. Though there is slight pain, while climbing stairs, I am far better than what I was on 16-Dec-16.
I especially thank Dextrose Prolotherapy, Dr.Kailash Kothari and all the treatments which helped me heal.
