Pain with almost no hope left.

"Sometimes I think about banging my head against the wall when it hurts so much," but then I think of the people in my family, so I tell myself that I have to endure it. This was the pent-up feeling in Yupayao's heart, as she shared it with tears in her eyes.

The accumulated pain from lifting heavy objects and sitting for long periods at work over many years resulted in Yupayao developing chronic hip pain radiating down her leg, making it impossible for her to live a normal life. She had to close her shop and quit the profession she once loved. Her life, once filled with laughter and happiness with her family, became one where she felt like she was carrying a heavy burden.

Restoring hope in the darkest days.

Then one day, her son took the MRI results to a doctor. After the diagnosis, the doctors found that her spine had shifted and was compressing the nerves, and recommended treatment using the Full Endo TLIF technique. At that time, she admits to being scared and anxious, but the detailed explanation from the medical team reassured her and made her feel like she had found a light in a dark day.

“At that time, I felt like whatever was going to happen, let it happen. But when I saw my children and my husband standing beside my bed after the surgery, it made me realize that I had truly survived,” Yupayao recounted with a voice filled with relief after the surgery. She can now sit up and walk without any hip pain. “I have my legs back,” she said with a smile.

Caring attention changed Yupayao's life forever.

What impressed her most was the attentiveness of the specialized spine medical team. From accurate diagnosis and selection of the appropriate treatment, to the use of modern surgical techniques that minimized pain and recovery time, life, which she thought would never be the same again, became a day where she could smile and spend time with her family once more.
