Success Stories “After recovering from my heart transplant surgery, I started having severe, terrible pain in the stitch area due to nerve entrapment. It was constant, and I had a very bad time. I came to know about the pain management clinic at the Sir H. N. Foundation Hospital. With their treatment, my pain really vanished. I am completely relieved. Thanks to the pain clinic”. - A patient with post-operative chronic pain benefited enormously after receiving treatment from our pain management team. “I am 68 years old. My finger pain made my life miserable. I tried everything possible, with no relief. A doctor even advised digital amputation. Then, I happened to visit the pain clinic at the Sir H. N. Foundation Hospital and consulted Dr Hemant Mehta. He confidently said that he could cure me completely, and here I am: totally pain-free after three months of treatment, leading a normal life”. - A patient who benefited from our chronic pain management services.
