Patient Experience of Khun Phattrawadee, 21 years old: She received treatment with laser ablation due to the pain caused by prolonged reading while sitting with her head bent down. She rarely changed her posture, leading to headache symptoms similar to migraines. Over time, the headache spread to her neck, shoulders and down her back, reaching her right leg.
Khun Phattrawadee shared that she consulted a doctor in Norway, where she was living and studying. When she described her symptoms to the doctor, they suggested that her condition was caused by intense studying and stress, leading to migraines, with the assumption that it would improve over time. However, as time passed, her condition did not improve and only worsened.
In the meantime, her mother tried to find a hospital in Thailand that could treat her pain. Eventually, they found S-Spine Hospital, which seemed to be the right fit, so she decided to fly back to Thailand for treatment.
When she arrived for treatment here, she explained her symptoms in detail to the doctor. The doctor then sent her for an MRI to examine her condition thoroughly and identify the cause. When the test results came back, the doctor explained her condition, and she was able to see for herself the cause of her pain. The doctor recommended a treatment plan and reassured her by saying, “You will definitely recover from the pain and you will no longer experience any pain.”
After the surgery, she woke up with almost no head pain and she didn’t even realize that she had undergone surgery because the incision was barely visible. The treatment exceeded her expectations, as the pain in her neck was gone. She wanted to thank the doctor for helping her return to her normal life and for relieving her from the suffering caused by the pain.
