I have always been less girly and more tomboyish. Whether it was about dressing up like a boy, playing boy games like football, baseball etc. or doing manly activities like lifting heavy boxes, carrying load on the back,. I have never liked to act shy and coy like my other sisters and have always preferred to be more rough and tough. This is one reason why, when the first signs of arthritis showed up, I did not pay much attention to it.

I would occasionally gulp down a painkiller or two and continue with my work ignoring the pain I was going through. I had a feeling that discussing my knee pain would be something extremely girly that I would never do. For nearly two years, I ignored the situation. But then came a phase when walking was impossible. My knee pain had taken a toll on me. Exerting even slight pressure was impossible let alone lifting heavy objects. I was feeling crippled, it was as if I had become handicapped.

For a person who has been on her toes all the time, a sudden immobility was like a shock. I was sad and depression was taking over me. I wanted some miracle and I was just cursing myself for ...
... ignoring my health condition for so many years. In such issues, one should never pay neglect rather go see a physician immediately. The earlier the better. I could not stop blaming myself for what had come upon me and there was no one but only me to be blamed for this situation.

I was giving up and I had stopped socializing completely. So much so that even if my friends called me to find out how I was feeling, I would not answer. I felt some kind of an embarrassment in telling them about my condition and at any cost, I did not want to earn any sympathy from them.

But it so happened that one of these days a very old friend called me. The moment I saw the name flashing I could not stop but answer the call. We were school time friends and probably emotions overpowered my ego at that moment and I decided to tell her everything. After listening to it all patiently, she suggested that I go online and find out about total knee replacement surgery india. It seemed a little vague in the beginning but the impetus she gave on the matter, I decided to go and do a research on total knee replacement surgery India and I was surprised how each and every symptom I was going through was explained in detail.

The very next day I sent across all my reports to the e-mail address mentioned there and within a few hours I had an e-mail from the experts who told me my treatment was possible. I would have to undergo a knee replacement surgery in India and that was the end to all my miseries. The knee replacement surgery india was neither expensive nor time taking and hence I decided to give it a shot.

I am heading to India tomorrow, in case you have been going through a similar problem, do check for the right treatment.
