Legs feel heavy and painful when at rest which doctor to consult

Hello Kantha G Rao ji,

Thank you for your question. Here's a detailed response regarding knee replacement surgery at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad and the applicability of Ayushman Bharat coverage.

Knee Replacement Surgery – Cost at Apollo Jubilee Hills

The cost of knee replacement surgery typically starts from ₹2 lakhs, but it can vary significantly based on several key factors:

Cost Influencing Factors:

• Type of surgery: Unilateral (one knee) or bilateral (both knees)

• Procedure technique: Traditional, Arthroscopic or Robotic

• Implant quality and brand used (imported vs. Indian)

• Room category (general ward, private room, deluxe)

• Patient’s age and existing health conditions

• Duration of hospital stay

• Pre- and post-surgery physiotherapy and medicines

• Diagnostic tests and investigations required

• Insurance and financing options, if available

Is Apollo Jubilee Hills Empanelled under Ayushman Bharat?

To receive treatment under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme, the hospital must be officially empanelled. Apollo Jubilee Hills is a reputed private hospital, but empanelment may vary by department and treatment type.

How to Check Hospital Empanelment:

You can follow these simple steps to verify whether Apollo Jubilee Hills is Ayushman-approved:

1. Visit the official website: https://hospitals.pmjay.gov.in/Search/empnlWorkFlow.htm

2. Select:

   • State: Telangana

   • District: Hyderabad

3. In the search bar, type “Apollo Jubilee Hills”

4. Click Search to view if it appears in the empanelled list

5. Check if orthopaedic or knee replacement treatment is listed under services

Additional Guidance

If the hospital is not empanelled, you can still avail Ayushman Bharat benefits at other top hospitals in Hyderabad that are approved under the scheme.

Wishing you strength and a successful recovery journey!

Hello Asha Devi ji,

Aapke kandhe (hasli/collarbone) mein fracture hua tha ek mahina pehle, aur ab haath mein sujan badh gayi hai — yeh serious complication ka sanket ho sakta hai. Pehle kuch baatein jaan lena zaroori hai:

Pehle Sawal:

• Kya 1 mahina pehle koi treatment hua tha? (Jaise X-ray, sling, plaster, ya surgery?)

• Aap abhi bhi pain aur sujan feel kar rahi hain?

• Kya movement mein dikkat ho rahi hai ya haath numb ho jaata hai?

Agar aap bata saken ki pehle kya treatment hua tha, to sahi salah dena aur asaan ho jaayega.

Agar Fracture theek se nahi joda ho:

• Swelling, pain aur haath ka kaam na kar pana – yeh delayed healing, displacement, ya internal injury ka sanket ho sakte hain

• Nerve pressure hone se haath mein sujan ya weakness aa sakti hai

Kya Karna Chahiye:

• Turant ek orthopaedic specialist se consult karein

• X-ray ya CT scan repeat karwana zaroori hai taaki dekha ja sake fracture theek ho raha hai ya nahi

• Agar fracture displacement hua hai, to surgery ya plating required ho sakti hai

• Tab tak weight uthana, pressure dena, ya haath latkana avoid karein

Aap turant action lijiye, fracture ko ignore karna haath ke permanent damage tak le ja sakta hai.

Hello Manjit Singh ji,

Aapke maa ke pair aur poori lat mein dard kaafi takleefdeh ho sakta hai, aur agar MRI ki zarurat padti hai to sahi diagnosis aur timely treatment bahut important hai. Aaiye aapke sawaal ka clear jawab dete hain:

Pair aur Lat ka Dard – MRI Kyun Zaruri Ho Sakta Hai?

Doctor ne MRI recommend kiya hoga agar unhe doubt ho:

• Nerve compression (sciatica)

• Slipped disc ya spinal issue

• Muscle tear ya ligament injury

Agar medicines se theek nahi ho raha, to MRI se exact reason identify kiya ja sakta hai.

Universal Hospital & Trauma Center, Hoshiarpur (Dr. Navdeep Bains)

We have checked the official Ayushman Bharat hospital list, and unfortunately:

❌ Universal Hospital & Trauma Center (Dr. Navdeep Bains – Orthopedic Surgeon) is not empanelled under the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme.

How to Check for Ayushman-Approved Hospitals

2. Select:

   • State: Punjab

   • District: Hoshiarpur

3. Click on “Search” to see a list of empanelled hospitals where Ayushman card is accepted

OPD Consultations & MRI – Are They Covered?

• OPD consultations (doctor fees) are generally not covered under Ayushman Bharat

• MRI and diagnostic tests are covered only if:

  • You are admitted to an empanelled hospital

  • The test is part of an approved treatment package

  • The hospital raises a pre-authorization request

So, agar aapki maa ko admit kiya jaata hai MRI ke liye, aur hospital empanelled hai, to MRI cost cover ho sakta hai — otherwise nahi.
