Let us read Habib’s personal experience with the joint replacement surgery hospital India group after his Knee Replacement Surgery in India Habib Shares His Share of Experience with joint replacement surgery hospital India- group of best hospitals and surgeons.I live in Nigeriawhere the healthcare sector is developed yet with so many challenges to come forth each day. Amidst this challenging medical environment, I also got stuck when i first experienced my knee pain. With strong will power and a confident mind, I was sure to handle the pain that was pinching every moment on my knee joint. I was not afraid of pain and was continuing to follow the daily routine that was extremely a hectic schedule with me being a sports trainer.

Life went on and on for about a couple of months and I allowed my pain to linger on for more than 10 months. Then one fine day, I still remember it was a winter morning and as I woke up and kept my feet on the floor from my bed, I felt as if my legs had become stubborn. It had become so hard that I was not even able to move the same. I still tried standing and the pain then was no less than losing something or someone important from my life. I immediately called my family doctor who was also my very good friend. I slept back and called my wife for bed tea. My doctor was home within no time, he went through a general physical examination and it was then when I informed him about my knee pain for the past 9 months. There my doctor caught me and with the immediate response, he suggested me to go for knee replacement surgery. I was shocked to hear that and for a moment was in shock that being a sports trainer this is something I can never think or even imagine. However, according to him, there was no other choice and he suspected that I was having arthritis and ignored the pain for so long.

I came to the conclusion after a long and healthy discussion with my doctor that there was no other alternative left now. During the discussion, he also suggested me to visit India with a medical visa and get the surgery done there. Just a year ago, he said he took his mother to for most Affordable Knee Replacement Surgery in India. He also said that he got the surgery done from Dr. SKS Mary through the course of the joint replacement surgery hospital India group. He also added that I should not waste time searching for a good surgeon in Nigeria and straight away contact the joint replacement surgery hospital India group. I was a bit skeptical because of knee surgery, just a shocking state of mind for a sport’s person and what after the surgery. So, I was very concerned and considered that I should go to the right place.

For two days I was on the bed because of muscle stiffness and lack of mobility. My doctor prescribed medicine to ease pain and release muscle stiffness. Gradually, after two days I was able to walk but painfully and with lack of comfort. The basic routine activities had become a challenging task for me because of knee pain.

Now, I felt it was time to take the right decision. During the discussion I had with my doctor, he recommended me joint replacement surgery hospital India group. Though I knew my friend, my doctor won’t misguide me ever but still to have further confirmation about the medical tourism company, joint replacement surgery hospital India group and Dr. SKS Marya, I browsed the web. I started to analyze all the angles of the company and the doctor as well. At this stage when I am sharing my personal knee surgery experience with you, I do not even remember how many websites and how many people I have connected with to have an assurance that the joint replacement surgery hospital India group would be the right choice for me. I went through Knee Surgery Patient Review, testimonials, Knee Surgery Success Story, patient stories, and what not to confirm my decision. Thankfully, all through the research, at and each and every single point of contact, I received positive comments. Not even a single negative thing about the company I came to hear. Then what?

The decision to get my knee replacement surgery from Best Orthopaedic Surgery Hospitals in India was confirmed and I further took the initiative to contact the joint replacement surgery hospital India group. I went through their website and connected with their coordinator through the helpline number available on their website.I connected with the coordinator of the joint replacement surgery hospital India group, and he was generous enough to answer all my queries. We both shared our names with each other and the basic details. Then I continued to communicate my interest to undergo a knee replacement surgery. In response, he sounded amazed but was calm and generous to my question.

He calmly asked me,
 

In response, I only had to say that I am suffering from knee pain from the past 10 to 11 months and now I feel I should get the knee replacement surgery.The coordinator was not a doctor but well versed with all medical terminologies and concerns. His conversation made me feel like I am conversing with a medical expert.The coordinator then again asked me a few questions:

The answers to all these questions were a ‘Yes’ except the last question that stated whether I have undergone any surgery earlier or not. To date, I have always been healthy and have never undergone any surgery.Based on my answers, the coordinator suggested me few tests to per performed in Nigeria so that the right decision could be taken. He suggested to me:

 
These tests were to diagnose my condition further and confirm whether I really need surgery or not. I did the tests and after two days, I shared my medical reports through the email id provided to me by the coordinator. Today, when talking about my first conversation with the coordinator of the joint replacement surgery hospital India group, I feel so compassionate with him. It was like a friendly conversation delivering genuine suggestions and pieces of advice.

The next day after me sharing my medical reports with the joint replacement surgery hospital India group, I received the response of Top 10 Knee Surgeons in India. They all diagnosed me with arthritis suggested knee replacement surgery. The list of Top 10 Knee Surgeons in India was the name of Dr. SKS Marya Top Knee Replacement Surgeon in India whom my family doctor had recommended. Actually, after my first research, I just went off the track with my search of a went off the track with my search of a doctor and it was then when I realized that my search for the doctor was just left by the side after my first conversation with the joint replacement surgery hospital India group associate who was assigned to handle my case.

 
During the next conversation, the coordinator asked me which doctor I would prefer. And that was the time when there was no doubt, no second thought, and I straight away said, Dr. SKS Marya. In response to my sudden answer, the coordinator was silent for a moment and then said, “That’s fine sir”. This further gave me confirmation that the doctor my friend recommended was the best I could get for my surgery.

Then it took a couple of days for the team to manage everything, to plan for my surgery, to make an appointment for the surgery and to manage my medical visit to India. After a week, I received one call from the coordinator asking me that when would I prefer to undergo surgery and whether I was all set for the surgery. I replied, “Of course I am”. With immediate response, the coordinator said, “We will initiate the process for arranging your medical visa to India and for your stay in India.” He also added, “In the meantime, you carry on with all the preparations you want before you leave your home town concerning your personal and professional responsibilities”. That’s was really sweet of them. Almost nearing the end of the conversation that day, he asked whether anyone will accompany me to India so that stay, food, and travel arrangements will be made accordingly. I did reply that my wife will come with me.
 
It was just three days from my previous conversation with that associate and I had received an email regarding the medical visa that was arranged. I gave a callback and I was informed that the travel tickets and other arrangements were made for my wife and me. The associate also said that he has booked an appointment with the doctor and has also planned the date of the surgery. I got another couple of days to make arrangements for all my existing responsibilities in Nigeria and simultaneously plan for my visit to India. The fourth day from then we travelled to India.
 
India airport was a new experience with my wife and me. A travel associate from the joint replacement surgery hospital India group was there to greet us as informed to us before flying from Nigeria. He smoothly drove us to the hotel that was booked for us. The hotel was a good stay and we were offered tea and snacks as refreshments. After that, he informed us that he will come to pick up around 4 in the evening as at 5 the appointment with Dr. SKS Maryawas booked.
 
We rested for some time and as informed he was there sharp at 4 in the hotel. We took some time to prepare ourselves with all the medical reports and medical history papers. All through he waited patiently. Then he drove us to the hospital and when we stepped into the hospital, it was an experience of a five-star hotel. We were escorted by another professional from the team to the doctor’s room. As we entered, the doctor was already there waiting for us. He greeted us with a smile and checked all my medical reports thoroughly once again. He explained to my wife regarding the complete surgical procedure and me. Further to that, he asked me to get admitted the next day so that two days before the surgery, everything can be easily prepared.
 
The associate who brought us to the hospital drove us back to the hotel. On the way, he also asked whether we were willing to have a short tour of the city but we refused because we were tired. We rested and prepared ourselves for the surgery. The next day the associate was there to pick up on time and we were also ready.After reaching the hospital, my wife was a bit nervous but the associate made her calm down. After admission, several tests were again performed as suggested by the doctor. He suggested:
 

 
The surgery was after two days and before the surgery, the doctor wanted to stay assured that surgery is safe to conduct. Hence, the tests were performed. After checking the medical reports, the doctor recommended the surgery on the same date as decided previously. The final day came and I was there in the operation theatre. Bit nervous, bit worried. I received assurance and optimism from the nurses and the assisted doctors present in the operation theatre. Just with this realization, I went off to sleep under the dose of anesthesia and the surgery started. The surgery was successful and there outside the operation theatre, my wife could have a sign of relief. After an hour, I came back to my senses and saw everyone around smiling including the associate of joint replacement surgery hospital India group.

After the surgery, came the period of recovery and rehabilitation after my Knee Replacement Surgery in India. The very next day after the surgery I was made for walking with assistance and support. The nurses, caretakers and the other members of the team were highly compassionate. The next day I was asked to climb a few steps during the day time and walk using assistive devices. Then from the third day onwards till the 6th day when I was discharged, I was made for walking several steps and climbing a few steps two times of the day keeping me low of medicine doses. I was even made to bend my operated knee to release its stiffness and keep its optimum condition and functioning. Then I was discharged from the hospital but was asked to stay back in India for at least two weeks. I stayed at the hotel for two weeks and every day the assistant from the joint replacement surgery hospital India group used to come and greet us and support me for taking my steps. He also helped me perform a few knee exercises with a view to strengthening my operated knee.

After two weeks, I visited the doctor for a follow-up. He suggested a few more exercises to keep the knee moving and at ease. I was then allowed to travel back to Nigeria. Following the doctor’s guidelines, the associate then made the arrangements for us to return home. On the booked date, my wife and I went back to Nigeria with so many memories to cherish. I never thought a medical visit can ever be so pleasant, so meaningful, and so relaxing. Thank you joint replacement surgery hospital India group!

It is now around a year after my surgery but…what are you thinking? Do you remember my profession? Yes, a sports person back to form. I am again back to my sports profession as active as before. It doesn’t even feel that I have undergone a knee replacement surgery from Dr. SKS Marya Top Knee Replacement Surgeon in India thanks to him too. How great it is to have this feeling, especially for a sports person like me.“Thanks a Ton, joint replacement surgery hospital India- group of best hospital and surgeon for All the Support, Guidance, and Wonderful Course of Treatment.”
