 Often, most of the patients who suffer with advanced arthritis of one or the other joint do not seek medical attention in the right time. This is mainly because of the fear in their mind about undergoing an advanced treatment option. Ironically, these fears gives them the courage to live with the pain for the rest of their life. This fear is also fueled by the so-called non-professional experts who are neither patients who had received treatment nor the professionals who give treatment. And these people pass on their myths so strongly to the others that they start believing it as a fact. Mrs. Bharati Ayer presented to me with both knee pain in the month of February last year. She literally had severe pain and gross restriction of her movements. But she too had fear in her mind about undergoing a surgery. One of the main reasons is that your surgery is very scary when you are transplanting. People are implanted artificially, they are very scared of the fact that they are one of the best decisions. To her and my surprise, her recovery was so fast that in two weeks time, she was almost managing totally independently all her daily activities and by the end of third week, she was able to climb stairs even without any support. What I can say, she literally envied all those who thought she would not walk better if she undergoes any replacement surgery. The beautiful part is that she fought over her fear and defeated it. Honestly speaking, a joint replacement is a very successful surgery. It helps in alleviating the pain, it adds mobility to a damaged joint, it corrects the deformity and thereby it overall improves the quality of life. With this beautiful journey of Ms. Bhartya here, what message I would like to convey to all those who are suffering with pain due to arthritis is that don't live with your pain because of the fear. Seek medical attention at the right time because adding days to life doesn't make any sense, add life to your days and improve the quality of your life because at the end of the day it's the quality of the life that matters.
