Success Stories

I had been having joint pain due to arthritis for past twenty years; however my pain had increased substantially during past five years. Even if I walk for short distance the knees pain used to be unbearable. To work or cook while standing for more than half an hour had become quite difficult. I had tried variety of treatments including those advertised on Television however it didn't help. Every night had to apply some ointment or a cream for joint pain. People could notice pronounced limp in my walk.

Couple of years back my daughter had mentioned to me about joint replacement surgery. However a surgery at such late age (I was 75 then) scared me and I continued to live on. Later on I met a friend of my age, who had also undergone such surgery which gave me confidence. My daughter who stays at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai had heard a lot about Dr. Sanjeev Jain. During one of my visit she insisted that we consult Dr. Jain. Meeting him was a great revelation.

The experience and examples that he shared converted my confidence into determination to undergo TKR surgery. There were apprehensions about doing both knees together but doctor explained the advantage of computer-assisted surgery. Eventually I underwent TKR for my both the knees in May 2012. It needed five days stay at the hospital including one night at ICU immediately after surgery. First month after surgery was tough when healing process was on and I had to learn to walk again. As the days passed it improved and I gave-up walker in twenty days, later on started walking with a stick. The joint pain which accompanied me for twenty years was gone leaving me alone! My limp was also gone. Looking back after one year I could say this surgery was best celebration of my 75th year.
