Liz's Meniscus Repair Surgery in Turkey: No Longer Living with Pain
Liz Kahara Journey to Pain-Free Living in Turkey
Liz Kahara has been active all her life.
Growing up in Nairobi, she was always involved in various physical activities. Whether it was running, hiking, or playing sports, Liz was constantly on the move. This active lifestyle continued well into her adulthood. As a mother and professional, she balanced her responsibilities while maintaining her love for fitness and outdoor activities.
However, everything changed in December 2018. Liz started experiencing severe pain in her knee and ankle. Initially, she tried to manage the pain with home remedies and over-the-counter medications, but the discomfort persisted and began to affect her daily life.
"The pain was unbearable at times," Liz recalls. "I couldn't run, hike, or even play with my kids. Simple activities like walking or standing for long periods became incredibly painful."
Finding an Affordable Solution with PlacidWay
Determined to find a solution, Liz sought medical advice in Nairobi. She was diagnosed with meniscus damage in her knee and needed corrective surgery on her ankle. The estimated cost for both surgeries in Nairobi was around $20,000, which was beyond her budget.
"My budget was under $10,000," she explains. "I needed a more affordable option without compromising the quality of care."
Through various community forums and recommendations, Liz heard about PlacidWay, a platform known for helping patients find affordable and high-quality medical care abroad. Encouraged by the positive feedback, she reached out to PlacidWay for assistance.
"Many people recommended PlacidWay for help, so I contacted them," Liz says. "They were incredibly supportive and suggested I consider Turan Turan in Turkey."
Dr. Turan, an orthopedic specialist at Turan Turan, was recommended to Liz for her knee and ankle surgeries. After several consultations and thorough research, she decided to proceed with the treatment in Turkey.
"From the first interaction, I was impressed by Dr. Turan and his team," Liz recalls. "They were professional, compassionate, and provided detailed explanations of the procedures and what to expect during recovery."
The journey to Turkey marked a new chapter in Liz's life. Upon arrival, she was welcomed warmly and felt at ease with the medical staff.
"The experience at Turan Turan was exceptional," she shares. "The hospital was state-of-the-art, the staff were friendly, and the level of care was outstanding. Everything was well-organized, from the initial check-in to post-operative care."
Successful Surgery and Recover at Turan in Turkey
Liz underwent meniscus repair and corrective ankle surgery, both of which were successful. The post-surgery care and rehabilitation plan were meticulously designed to ensure a smooth recovery.
"I spent a few days in the hospital, where the care was top-notch," Liz notes. "The facilities were clean, and the nurses were attentive. The food was surprisingly good, and my family had easy access for visits."
As part of her recovery plan, Liz had to keep her knee and ankle partially immobilized initially. She set a personal goal to be able to walk without pain and resume her active lifestyle as soon as possible. With determination and the support of her medical team, Liz made remarkable progress.
"By the end of the recovery period, I was able to walk comfortably and even started light exercises," she says with a smile. "The difference was incredible. I could play with my kids, go for walks, and gradually get back to my active life."
Reflecting on her journey, Liz feels a deep sense of gratitude for the support and care she received.
"It's amazing how much my life has improved," she says. "I no longer struggle with constant pain, and I can enjoy activities I once took for granted. The experience with PlacidWay and Turan Turan has been life-changing."
Today, Liz is back in Nairobi, living her life to the fullest. She continues to stay active and cherishes every moment spent with her family.
"Being pain-free is a blessing," she concludes. "I'm grateful for the second chance to live my life without limitations, and I owe it all to the excellent care I received in Turkey."
"For anyone struggling with pain and looking for affordable, quality care, I highly recommend considering international medical options like I did," she advises. "There's help out there, and it can truly change your life."
