It was getting very difficult even to get dressed. So, I have consulted the local well known orthopaedic doctor, who just took few minutes for consultation and prescribed few medicines and pain killers. Though the pain subsided with these medications but walking was not at all normal and comfortable. I continued the medicines for few weeks. Later after few months I had a similar problem in my left knee. Same doctor prescribed the old medicines. These medications gave a superficial relief and the root cause was still there which was not addressed.
As I am a diabetic, I regularly go for morning walk for about 30-40 minutes. I used to feel not only knee pain but also severe nerve pain on the right side from waist to ankle after walking few hundred steps. Due to this my morning walk was very strenuous and difficult. Also, because of these symptoms I had to cancel many of my travel plans.
In March, 2023, I decided to consult Physiotherapist and searched the Google for the doctors near me. I came across Dr. Mamta Sahoo with a very excellent reviews. So, I consulted her on one day and explained my problem. After hearing my knee and other leg related problems immediately she gave an appointment. With the first session itself, I could find that my knee and other related problems is a distance past. My morning walk which was earlier a torturous one, now has become delightful and even after walking for an hour, I do not experience any leg related pains. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Mamta Sahoo. She knows her subject thoroughly and her diagnosis is excellent. She never consider patients as patients, instead she treats them as their friends/relatives.
