Patient Diaries: Life Handed Komal Lemons and So She Made Lemonades!

The lack of freedom to move around doesn’t pinch until it is felt. Such is the story of a 35-year-old lady from Uttar Pradesh. Her freedom was snatched away from her when she was shot and lost sensation in both legs because of the resulting spinal cord injury. Coming from a small town, she didn’t have much knowledge about the advances in medical science. She lost all hope of any recovery. But miracles do happen. It happened for her when she heard about us and came to NeuroGen for stem cell therapy.

The woman, who could not stand on her feet or do anything at all and was completely bedridden, has shown some tremendous improvement since. When she first came to NeuroGen, she had no movement in her legs at all. She could not balance herself and was completely dependent on people all the time. After going through Stem Cell Therapy, she is now a little closer to experiencing the freedom of movement again. After gaining some control over her motor functions, her lost confidence in life is slowly coming back. And the relief she must have felt when she finally had some control over her bowel and bladder movements, is something we can’t even imagine.

This woman who could not do anything before, who would just sit in one place the whole day, is now bathing and cooking herself. She had to let go of her job as a teacher when she couldn’t stand, a job that she loved very much. But she has now resumed her job for a few hours in the day and hopes to increase those hours very soon. Dr. Alok Sharma, Director and Founder of NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute has seen tremendous scope of recovery in her. After rigorous hard work by Dr. Alok Sharma and his team, they hope to see her standing on her feet again.

This teacher from U.P. smiles confidently while going through tedious exercises in physiotherapy, because she now sees hope, hope to stand on her feet. In her own words, ‘She can do everything!’ Words do not do enough justice to this miraculous story! Watch the video to truly experience the journey that determined teacher from U.P. has braved!
