AVN and the Bumblebee story

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗲  𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

18 years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Avascular Necrosis (AVN) in my right femur — a painful degenerative condition where the bone tissue essentially dies. I was in excruciating pain. Most doctors recommended an immediate hip replacement – at age 34!!!

Then I met Dr. Sanjay Agarwala, who offered his pathbreaking, non-invasive treatment plan. Despite being a renowned surgeon, he assured me we will avoid surgery – at least until his retirement. That promise gave me hope & strength.

I remain eternally grateful to Dr. Agarwala, one the best orthopaedic surgeons in India and also a wonderful person – humble in his success & happy with this patients’ recovery.

Today, my X-ray still says I shouldn’t be walking. But I walk 10,000 steps a day (my all-time high record is 30,000 steps , I do weight training & yoga and lead a normal life.

AND here’s a story – 
(taken from Shiv Khera’s iconic book “You Can Win”)

Scientifically, a bumblebee’s body is too heavy and its wings too small for it to fly, yet it flies anyway because it doesn’t know its limitations.

My mind also refused to accept the limitations & body acceded.

If you’re suffering from AVN, I’m here to help. If I can do it, so can you.
