 I'm Paul Muirekigwadi. I'm a ward representative in Mbakasi, Nairobi. I'm aged 61 years, around 20-21 years ago, of which I had an accident. I've been living on painkalors and medicine. The pain on my pelvic and my hip and my lower back. All this time I've been seeing so many doctors, but the only thing they've been doing to me is giving me medicine painkillers, of which after taking painkillers for so long, they started having effects on my body, that is side effects. So they reached a point where the pain was so much unbearable and I had to ask for maybe what I should do to get over that pain because I would not live all my life on painkalors. After my hip brought problems, it affected my knees, both my knees. So I had pains in the knees, pains in the joints, pains in my lower part of the body. That's when the name of looking for hospitals came. As a family we sat down and we thought of going to the website and to look for specialized treatment. Whereas that's where the name of Manipal came in and we found out that in Manipal we had specialized doctors. So I wanted to go somewhere where I'll have everything in one roof. That's how me and my family settled for Manipal. When I came to Manipal, everything has gone very softly. I first saw Mr. Paul Kigawati, 61-year-old gentleman from Kenya, a month mark in my clinic. He works as an elected representative of the Kenyan government. He first saw me with increasing complaints of right hip pain. To give you a brief history, he had a road traffic accident in the early 1980s where he sustained considerable damage to his right hip joint. Soon after that he started developing pain in the right hip which increased over the past couple of decades to this degree that he would hardly walk a couple of steps without pain. To make matters worse, he also had a condition called gout which affects the joints because of high uric acid content level in him. So he also had pain in both the knees which started from the past decade which was also troubling him. So I evaluated him, examined him, did x-rays and found that he'd got advanced arthritis of his right hip and arthritis of both his knee joints. After optimizing him and all the necessary tests for that we counseled him that he needs hip replacement of the right side and also knee replacement of both the sides. So we went ahead with the hip replacement. The surgery went well which was followed by a week later by both his knee suture replaced. So patients started walking soon after this first hip was replaced and subsequently after the knee replacement was done as well. So today he's three weeks down the line and he's walking considerably well with minimal aid. So these kind of joint replacements, hip and knee are a very successful surgery and with the advent of modern bearings and implants they can easily last for more than a couple of decades if taken care of well. So we at Manipal Hospitals are an esteemed center for these kind of joint replacements because of our infrastructure and because of the backup. It's a place where I would like even to refer other people too. It's only three weeks and I've started doing my health issue therapy, I'm standing, I can walk a bit and I'm feeling in the next maybe one, two months I'll be well, well, well completely. So one thing is many thanks to Dr. Sonir I found Dr. Sonir and the doctors who are all the doctors who are a couple, who are very cooperative.
