Visited for ACL &PCL Reconstruction

True magic in his hands and I can say it by my firsthand experience. My ACL reconstruction was due for almost 3 years and what I did during this time was researched and tried all possible means to have my ligament back to avoid an operation. Now with the numerous videos on YouTube about ACL repair/reconstruction of which few are motivating by a step and few demotivating back by several steps, to sum up on the outcome of the research that I did, I was confused and afraid of a surgery and hence the reason to the delay. Well I must admit that I have consulted many Doctors and have no count of the number of MRI’s that I have taken in an expectation to see if my ligament has improved by time. Dr. Chirag Thonse was one such doctor whom I met and with the discussion on the approach and the confidence he gave me I was convinced, at that point I felt I need to get the reconstruction procedure done right away then and there. It was in March 2020 that I consulted Dr. Chirag and in April 2020 I underwent the surgery, mind you it was the lockdown and yes he operated my ACL with the pandemic around. On the experiences from the blogs and videos that I had I was certain of the post operation pain and was nervous beyond normal. The day of operation, it was no less than thriller with my heart pounding hard and all the prep-up going on for the procedure. Finally I was at the operation theatre witnessing the entire procedure on the TV/monitor while Dr. Chirag and team were in action. After the operation I was under care for almost 2 hours and later shifted to my ward. All that I was awaiting and prepared for was the post-op pain, the night of the operation I experienced it but not to the extent that I had read and watched. I thought probably it is the anesthesia and the pain management doses keeping me away from pain. The next day morning I was made to walk, yes you heard it was the very next day and it was indeed surprising that I was doing absolutely fine and walked quite a distance with the Physio’s support (never expected this at all). Only disappointment was that there was no pain at all that day, all my expectation was in vain :). I got discharged on the second day. After a week I called up Dr. Chirag and expressed the expectation that I had and I asked Doctor, how can there be no paint at all? He smiled and said, that’s why people get their ACL surgery done with me. I must also stress on the fact that Dr. Chirag leaves no stone unturned in terms of taking care of his patients, I have been in touch with him for 8 months now, I am able to jog, jump and squat. I am really blessed and fortunate to have the ACL surgery done by him. He guides you at every step on the journey to progress and the upcoming milestones, to top it all his patience is that of a Saint for the number of patients he has and he operates on a day to day basis. **** *** **** **** **** ** *** ** ** ************* *** *** ****** * **** *** * ********* Thank you Doctor for what you have done, I will remain thankful to you forever
