Hello All,
I want to share my medical story here since anyone can be at my place and this incident might prove helpful to any individual.
Last year I went outside India for work purpose. After a few months I started to develop red rashes throughout my arms and legs. I thought its just a minor skin infection and did not pay much heed as I was in a foreign land. When I returned back to India, within a few days started to develop slight back pain and then I decided to go to an Orthopaedic doctor. He saw my MRI reports and adviced me to undergo a minor surgery since I had osteomyelitis which had led to puss formation. Got operated and took all the required post operative antibiotics for 10 days. I started to recover and feel much better.During operation all the required tests were done including AFB culture, AFB smear, Histopathology etc and were negative. But the TB PCR showed I had MDR TB (very low).
Taking the advice of my Ortho doctor, I went to consult an Infectious Disease Specialist and then he started my ATT treatment seeing the TB PCR in which low MDR TB was detected. I had to take around 15 tablets in a day , all heavy dosage antibiotics, and hence started to get pukish feeling, dizziness, breathing difficulty, joint pain etc which were all the side effects of this treatment. Initially we went to the doctor every week and then consulted him biweekly but my condition was staying the same. The treatment continued for 3 months but my condition was deteriorating every passing day. I thought of consulting another doctor since these medications were doing no good and I was losing faith in myself. Then I found Dr Nishit on Practo and consulted him with all the prior history and investigations. He heard me patiently, understood all my problems .
He advised me to immediately stop ATT and get MRI, blood and TB PCR test done again. All the reports came and it seemed all fine. I had no TB. He explained me that TB PCR is very sensitive test and can detect some other bacteria also which may result in positive report. The reason for osteomyelitis was found that my skin infection has spread to my back bone due to a small injury which I ignored before.
He told me that ATT medicines should be started only after being clinically confirmed too.
The day I stopped those medicines I started to feel that I got my life back. No vomiting, no dizziness, no body pain, everything stopped.
I started moving around like before. I got a new life.
Dr Nishit advised me some multivitamins to be taken so that they can reduce the adverse effects of ATT. The ATT was damaging my liver also.
Its almost more than a month and I am back living my normal life.
I am so thankful that I consulted him and he took such an adverse decision to stop ATT in middle after confirming it from all ends . But it all worked out so well and now I am recovering quickly back to being a healthy individual.
Thank you Doctor.

I had a fall 1 year back, following which I developed instability and knee pain. Had lost confidence as even small walking used to increase pain.
Visited Dr Nishit after a year; he suggested Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. We went ahead and got the procedure done. He made sure best implants are put in my knee.
I am feeling the difference ; a lot stronger and confident.
Happy that inspire of surgical reconstruction I donโt have any metal inside my knee .
Thanks doc .
Highly recommend Dr Nishit for sports surgeries.

Hi
My Mother fell down at station while coming from my Hometown and her elbow got dislocated. She spent more than 24 hrs with dislocated hand in train and reached Delhi. I took her to Dr. Nishit Palo for the first treatment and he responded very quickly looking into the situation. We got relaxed after understanding his findings. Dr. Nishit treated my Mother in such a way that she never felt any pain during her treatment.
My Mother is absolutely fine now and doing her day to day work in as usual manner.
Thanks to Dr. Nishit for treating my Mother and making her comfortable.

I have advanced rheumatoid arthritis, I was out on methotrexate only by my doc. The medication was causing reactions in my body.
Dr Nishit evaluated the situation and my body composition, took me off MTX and started baseline anti Rheumatoid arthritis medications.
He emphasised on osteoporosis management, suggested me special medications for Osteoporosis. I was using a wrong belt for spine support, which he corrected and suggested the Taylors Brace. For my bent spine.
I'm feeling better now.
Would reccomend Dr Nishit for rheumatoid and osteoporosis management.
Thanks doc.

My injury got neglected, fracture were not detected in time. After a delay of 10-12 days when pain did not subside and difficulties kept increasing; took a opinion from Dr Nishit.
He confirmed to me that there are multiple fractures, managing then with surgery shall be the best option for me in terms of rehabilitation and union.
He invested confidence in me, I went for the surgery and got great results. Was Toe walking in 2-3 days of surgery. Left Walker at 6weeks post surgery.
Doing well now, planning screw removal in few months.

** ****** **** ** * **** ******* I am suffering from arthritis from more than 15 years. My condition become worse from six months I cannot even walk or do regular work properly I had stiffness in all joints and I am so depressed I also consulted other doctors but they gave only vitamin supplements and painkillers which is of no use. Then I consulted Dr Palo through practo.
He listened my problem patiently and recommended right treatment. He also told me to do specific exercises for my knee and joints. Within two days I can see the difference and in two weeks my condition improves significantly.
The best thing is that he not even given me any other vitamins or even steroids.

I was working in a factory, my hand got crushed . Middle 3 fingers of right hand were severely damaged. Where other surgeons reccomended amputation; Dr Nishit suggested we retain all fingers and see how things go, he operated me same day even when his working hours were over. On initial and subsequent dressings, my fingers were quiet healthy .Thanking god.. I took a wise decision.
Dr Nishit is generally very clear with his approach.. this is what as patients we need .
Thank you doctor .

I have got my mother operated by Dr Nishit ; he has done what all was committed pre surgery. Our experience was smooth and overall satisfactory.
He also started physiotherapy early . I would recommend Dr Nishit Palo for all fracture related surgeries.
