Long thread alert on #Ayureda based on my experience. I am…

In the 1st week of May this yr, i had developed upper back pain near my neck, upto hands down till finger tips. I had assumed it as being sore muscles due to workouts & summer heat. but it was persistent, i started feeling dizzy & a sense of losing balance came in.

It was there almost daily,not excruciating but typically would tingle when i picked up weight/sat long hrs.I also felt uncomfortable driving.That's when i decided to go to @bharathnarendra who immediately asked me to take a cervical MRI. As he expected, the report read disc bulge

The report read exactly this :

I was obviously paranoid & confused on how i could have had this when i did lead a fairly decent active life and wasn't that sedentary & messy.
Ofcourse @bharathnarendra is an amazing doc who very confidently & calmly told me this can be fixed if i am going to obey him fully

He patiently explained how this could have occurred over years with all sorts of lifestyle changes, with wrong posture at work being the biggest culprit. I also became irregular with dancing,HIIT due to WFH during 2 yrs of Covid.

He put me though panchakarma therapy, Varma & a lot of medication for the 1st month. Was strictly under rest (not bed rest), without too much activity for 15 days.

I faithfully followed all his instructions including changing sleeping timing & patterns. Changed my chair at work place very importantly.
By the end of panchakarma & Varma session in 15 days, my pain had almost gone. However was strictly adviced to continue rest & let it heal.

Gradually over 1.5 months, i had no pain at all. i was still mentally scared to try any heavy activity though. By this time he asked me to start slow exercises otherwise it would be counterproductive. If not for his guidance, i would have not got any confidence

From mid July to August, I've gone from mild walking, jogging to running & been without any pain, slowly gaining strength in my arms. I am now 99.9% normal doing normal activities. The tiny bit is just because of me being cautious.

The biggest take away for me: ayurveda is a blessing to our country & more people should go that way. It is not vague & heals even spine if we go at the right time.
Varma technique is unbelievable & the instant relief when your bones are cracked is something inexplicable. Ahhh.

Lifestyle takes a hit when we have long working hours. As a society, we have to come together & find a mid path to reduce health issues in young adults. We don't want a young society that's burnt out quickly.

I thank @bharathnarendra for the care he has given me.

As a claustrophobic person, i had a hard time taking an MRI and hated it.
I would try again to give a before & after picture soon 🙂

And i wasn't alone. 3 of my friends had similar disc bugle in different parts of the spine. All aged btw 25 and 35.
