Introduction

Vimal, a 61-year-old Belagavi female, had suffered from severe abdominal and back pain for the past three years. She had a medical history of having Herpes Zoster ten years ago. After consulting with Dr Ravi, it was concluded that her pain was due to Post Herpetic Neuralgia, a complication of Herpes Zoster. The pain caused severe discomfort and a burning sensation from inside the body. It made it hard for her to sleep or do other everyday things.

Challenges

Post Herpetic Neuralgia is challenging with severe pain and discomfort. The pain can be so bad that it makes it hard for the person to do everyday things. Vimal had suffered from this condition for three years, and traditional medications and treatments had not provided significant relief.

Symptoms

Vimal experienced severe pain in her abdomen and back due to Post Herpetic Neuralgia from her previous Herpes Zoster infection. The pain caused a burning sensation and made it difficult for her to rest or perform simple movements, such as bending or moving her upper limbs.

Solution

After careful testing and diagnosis, Dr Ravi concluded that Vimal's pain was due to Post Herpetic Neuralgia. He recommended a combination of Neuromodulation therapy and injection therapy for her treatment. Neuromodulation therapy uses electrical impulses to block pain signals from reaching the brain. In contrast, injection therapy involves the administration of medication to reduce inflammation and pain.

Result

After one session of Neuromodulation therapy, Vimal experienced a significant reduction in her pain by 50%. She could move her chest and abdomen with less pain and had improved ease in moving her upper limbs. Dr Ravi advised her to undergo two more sittings of Neuromodulation and injections. Over three weeks, she received advanced non-surgical pain-free treatments With the continued treatment, Vimal's pain gradually diminished, and she fully recovered, becoming completely pain-free. The non-surgical treatments provided by Dr Ravi at Kerur Pain Clinic allowed Vimal to live a healthy and active lifestyle again.

Conclusion

Post Herpetic Neuralgia can be debilitating, causing severe pain and discomfort in affected individuals. But with the proper evaluation and treatment, the symptoms can be managed, and the patient can feel better. Vimal's case is an excellent example of how improved non-surgical treatments, like Neuromodulation and injection therapy, can successfully treat Post Herpetic Neuralgia and help patients live pain-free and busy lives.
