An 82-year-old Saudi woman had endured chronic pain for five long years, suffering from pain that stretched from head to toe. She had tried numerous treatments physical therapy, medications, and injections in her knees and shoulders but nothing brought her relief.
"It hurt everywhere, from my head to my feet,
five years of pain I hoped Allah would guide me to a way to heal"
She was admitted for spine surgery, presenting with chronic back and leg pain radiating to both legs, intermittent neck pain radiating to both arms, and numbness in her hands. Despite conservative treatments, her symptoms persisted.
"The pain was so bad I couldnt even walk.
I tried physical therapy, medicines, injections in my knees and shoulders
I tried everything, but nothing worked"
MRI scans revealed spinal canal stenosis at L3-L5, and the doctor recommended Percutaneous Stenoscopic Lumbar Decompression (PSLD) to relieve her pain.
After meeting the medical team at Chularat 3 International Hospital, she felt hope again. She underwent minimally invasive laser-assisted spine surgery, and, alhamdulillah, her pain was completely gone.
"I met the doctor here, and he recommended the laser endoscopic surgery
Alhamdulillah, I am so grateful to have found such a skilled doctor"
She praised the doctors, nurses, and staff for their compassion, professionalism, and kindness.
"After surgery, I dont feel any pain at all
The doctor, nurses, and staff everyone is so wonderful"
She now encourages others:
"Come and seek treatment here. Trust in Allah, and may Allah guide you to the right care
May Allah bless the doctors and staff they are like angels on earth, inshaAllah"
Her story is a testament to the life-changing care offered at Chularat 3 International Hospital a place where expert treatment and heartfelt compassion meet to restore health and hope.
