My life would have been easy if my left knee was fine. It had been troubling me for one long year when I decided to check it up with a doctor. I am not a doctor or treatment-seeking person, but after lots of suffering and terrible pain, I had to see a doctor.
In early days, I managed it anyhow but as time passed, it went on going severe each day. I consulted some people, used some home remedies, but it was all temporary. The pain ceased for a couple of days, then again used to start. It was unbearable for me. That was the time I thought of consulting a good doctor, which I never did before.
Then after some research, I found out that the best orthopaedist in the town was Dr Arijit Sawal. He had a good reputation and good past records. I decided to meet him. I fixed an appointment and went to his clinic to meet him.
Rohan
`Hello, doctor,’ I wished as I entered his cabin.
Doctor
`Hello, hello,’ he wished back extending his arm for a handshake. I shook hands with him.
We sat down.
Doctor
`Yes, tell me what your problems are.’
Rohan
`This is the very first time I am experiencing this type of pain. My left knee is paining severely.’
Doctor
`Does it pain regularly?’
Rohan
`No, it doesn’t have fixed time. It pains whenever it wants.’
He laughed.
Doctor
`Now I am beginning to think that your knee has it’s own brain, as it is doing things when it wants.’
I too laughed.
Doctor
`Okay, now serious. Tell me since when did it start?’
Rohan
`One year.’
Doctor
`Oh I see, long time though.’
Rohan
I nodded.
He took a few tests and prescribed some medicines. I took the medicines and left. Dr. Arijit said to consult him again if the medicines didn’t work.
