Hello everyone and dear Professor! My name is Eugene, I am from Dnipro and I want to share my first review, I completed the 1st stage of treatment a month ago. Here is a little spot of my history.
I am now 44 years old, it all started at the age of 29, from time to time I took my father to rehabilitation after a stroke and one day I was in a hurry and picked him up and carried him to the 5th floor (this was my initiative), came home, an sharp pain in the chest and my legs were taken away (at that time it was paresis, not spasticity), 2 weeks of examinations in Mechnikov and I was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor in the thoracic region). After a few days, my legs freed up and I was able to walk and run a little after that. But! The doctors said that if it doesn’t bother me, then it’s better not to touch the tumor or remove it, otherwise I might remain disabled (. For 3 years, I periodically had VERY severe pain in the chest, I lay in bed for several days, any movement or sneeze was particularly painful hellish pain. But I myself walked and worked, worked on interior doors, and in 2013, when the chest pain became unbearable and more and more frequent, as well as urinary and fecal incontinence, convulsions, it was decided to have surgery in Kyiv. The neurosurgeon was like that 70% of me will be better, 20% will remain as is and 10% will be worse…
Eh… after the operation my life have turned into a hell, spasticity, cramps, constipation, incontinence, neuropathic pain below chest level, hypersensitivity appeared. Although the neurosurgeon said that the operation was difficult, but successful, the spasticity should decrease and I would be able to walk and run. I went to the operation with my own feet… and after the operation I became disabled, I move with sticks now, but this is not the MOST terrible thing. SPASTICS, SPASTICS, SPASTICS AND CONVISIONS, plus nighttime urinary incontinence and during the day if the urge, I barely had time to run to the toilet.
The nights have turned into a living hell, when your legs twitch so much that you just go crazy, the tendons are stretched like ropes due to spasticity. The first years I somehow coped, endured it, trained before bed until I was completely tired, did stretching… but things are still there, and for the last 4-5 years I’ve been so tired of it all that several times I was ready to just lay hands on to myself. Although I always tried to be a strong person, a black belt in karate, I served in the DSB as a sniper, a lot of categories, at the age of 28 I was one of the first to run 10 km. But this PAIN, PAIN, PAIN…
CONSTANT PAIN AND CRAMPS, you can’t rest at least a little from it, often at night I called my friends and begged them to shoot me. Although I love life very much, I am just a person and there is a limit to everything, I began to go crazy from the pain, I used to scream so much that the neighbors came running from the street. Over the course of 10 years, 5 more operations were performed, nerves in the legs were cut, muscle cords were removed, even before the war they installed a spinal cord stimulator in Kyiv, (though made in Ukraine) which made the pain even worse!!!! stronger and urinary incontinence increased. (In short, I suffered a little), so much so that I looked for black transplantologists to give myself organs, because it wasn’t like I didn’t have the strength anymore, I prayed to God to take me away because at any moment I was already on the verge. But it is true what they say is that the darkest night is before the dawn.
On April 5, I went to one store, but fate took me to a completely different one, and there the seller Svetlana❤️ saw me and in what state I was in, she began to tell me about Professor Rakhmanov and said that they would definitely help me there, she spent about 15 minutes persuading me, I thanked her and said that he had already undergone a bunch of treatments, operations and was already disappointed in almost everything, but seeing her sincere desire to help me, when I came home, I called the center and agreed on a consultation. When I arrived at the clinic, I was in such a state that I thought that if they didn’t help me here, I would go and throw myself off the bridge. But, thanks to the professor, I just don’t have words to express my gratitude to him. Vagif Mamedovich ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and all the institute staff.
After 10 days I had less pain!!!!
I started going to the toilet less often!!!!
It became a little easier and better to walk!!!
At least a little, but I started to rest at night!!!!, and I am still tormented by leg twitching, especially during magnetic storms, incontinence, but no longer! there are gaps!!!
Strength began to appear and I began to do something around the house and in the garden (I live in the private sector)!!!
The relationship with my daughter has improved, she moved in with me 4 years ago, you know it’s very difficult to live with a person who lives with constant pain and the nervous system just can’t stand it anymore and often breaks down (now we have a much better understanding with her! !!
And most importantly, I finally have HOPE AND FAITH that they will finally help me here, and the DAY will come when I write my review that I finally got rid of spasticity, cramps and pain, gave up sticks and started running!!!
I understand that the disease has been around for 15 years and it takes time and patience, and I only went through the 1st stage.
Once again, a low bow and immense gratitude to Professor Rakhmanov.
