A brief history follows.

I was working as an executive secretary(Trademark Specialist) in an IP firm in Saudi Arabia around 15 years. There was strain in work and I used to work, long hours on computer with my head in the same direction (lower) since I am a short man to reach and look to the computer.
Around 2005, there occurred severe pain in my right arm which could not be identified the exact area. After several checking in many hospitals a Palestine Doctor at Riyadh confirmed that the problem is cervical spondylosis and nothing cold be done except a major Surgery.However, after some injection etc. the pain is temporarily cured without further treatment and I forgot about this since it does not affect my routine life. Only a numbness remained in one of my finger up to the shoulder which would not affect my routine life any way. I consulted one specialist in India who advised, do not do the surgery for the time being and can do a traction for the time being if I choose and have time.
I did nothing and returned to KSA and continued my job as usual. In 2009 November when I was taking rest at lunch break at Office(it was my practice sleeping, sitting on chair 10-15 minutes everyday, that too is not good for cervical problems), I felt a discomfort and went to the hospital self driving and the next day I consulted a big hospital that too I went driving myself and during the examination process, I took rest after lunch. When awoke Icould not move a bit and became bed-ridden as a whole. It was a brain stroke and after 3-4 days admittance in some other hospital , I returned to India in a wheel chair.

From the airport, I directly went to a hospital in Calicut, where I was treated by a well known Neurologist in Asia. After 4 days I as discharged with the advice of continued physciotherapy. I consulted many important allopathy and ayurveda hospitals in India. After 2 years I again consulted the same Neurologist.. On seeing me he surprised and told me that I should not be like that after 2 years. He advised me take an MRI of cervical spine. After seeing the MRI, he confirmed that your problem is in cervical spine and not due to the brain stroke and advised to do the surgery. After continued search, I did the surgery from a specialized hospital in Coimbatore. But regret that it was not helpful to my problems.My present difficulty is complete heaviness to my whole body and stiffness due to which I cannot walk, but little only by lifting my legs and dragging my whole body.I am engaging in all activites and experimenting all kinds of treatments that is why I believe, I am still alive.

I again came to KSA on a visiting Visa of my daughter. No one believe that I again travelled in this condition. This is only because of my will power to engage in all activities that I believe is the only way to survive up to death. I started working with one of my friend, who became ready to take my liability, in the same business before in order to be active and be engaged thanks to God.

Now, I’m afraid that if I could not maintain this situation, i will be very crucial and I cannot even think it Off.

Please pray for me and me let me have your advice.

Best Regards,
