Sneha Johnson, a 42-year-old high school...
Sneha Johnson, a 42-year-old high school biology teacher and avid gardener, had been living with a persistent, aching pain in her right wrist for over a year. It started as a minor twinge but gradually worsened, becoming sharp and debilitating whenever she tried to write on the whiteboard, grade papers, or tend to her roses. X-rays and an MRI revealed a benign but painful intraosseous ganglion cyst in her scaphoid bone, which had eroded a significant cavity. Her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, explained that curettage, scraping out the abnormal tissue, was necessary to relieve the pain and prevent fracture. However, the resulting bone defect was too large to heal on its own and required a bone graft from her hip to fill the void and provide a scaffold for new bone growth. The procedure went smoothly, though Sneha found the hip donor site more uncomfortable than her wrist in the immediate aftermath. Over six months of diligent physiotherapy and a temporary hiatus from gardening, her wrist pain subsided completely. The bone graft integrated well, restoring strength. Emotionally, Sneha journeyed from frustration and fear of losing her ability to teach and pursue her passion, to immense relief and gratitude. She returned to her garden with a new appreciation for her body's ability to heal, feeling empowered and free from the constant ache that had shadowed her days.
