PUNE - An 84-year-old woman from Pune suffered a painful fall in her bathroom that left her bedridden for almost two months. The fall caused a fractured vertebra, severe back pain, and disc bulges that compressed the nerve roots in her legs, causing shooting pain.
The woman's quality of life was severely affected as even basic activities such as passing urine and motion had to be done in bed, causing immense distress. However, thanks to a Vertebroplasty procedure, along with a root block and pulsed radiofrequency procedure, performed at Painex Pain Management Clinic, she regained her independence and restored her quality of life.
"We are thrilled with the success of the procedure, which resulted in complete pain relief for the patient," said a Dr Kashinath Bangar, Painex Clinic. "The patient was able to sit up independently and walk once again, restoring her quality of life and giving her a new lease on life."
This inspiring story is a testament to the importance of advanced medical procedures and the power they have to improve the lives of those in need, regardless of their age. Painex Clinic encourages anyone suffering from chronic pain to seek medical attention and explore the range of non-surgical treatment options available to them.

If not given proper treatment, it can lead to a worsening of symptoms and a decline in her overall health and quality of life. The pain can become more severe and disabling, making it difficult or impossible for her to carry out daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and cooking. This can lead to an increased risk of falls, injuries, and hospitalization. Moreover, untreated chronic pain in older adults can also cause psychological distress, social isolation, and cognitive decline, which can further compromise their well-being. Therefore, it is crucial to seek appropriate medical care and pain management for older adults with chronic pain to improve their overall health, function, and quality of life.

This can make it challenging or even impossible for them to carry out daily activities, putting them at an increased risk of falls, injuries, and hospitalization. In addition, untreated chronic pain can cause psychological distress, social isolation, and cognitive decline, which can further compromise their well-being.
