Sneha Nair, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Sneha Nair, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, had always been active, managing work and family life with energy. Her shoulder pain began gradually, a persistent ache she attributed to long hours at her desk. It worsened after a weekend of helping her elderly parents move house. Soon, she couldn't lift her arm to brush her hair or reach for a plate in the cupboard without a sharp, catching pain. An MRI revealed a significant rotator cuff tear. Her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sharma, recommended arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, explaining it was the best chance to restore full, pain-free function. Sneha was terrified of surgery and the recovery time, worrying about how she would care for her family and manage her job. The procedure itself was smooth, but the initial weeks in a sling were frustrating. With dedicated physical therapy and her family's support, she slowly regained strength. Six months later, she can play with her children, swim, and work without pain. The emotional journey was from fear and helplessness to immense relief and regained independence, teaching her patience and the importance of prioritizing her own health.
