Ease Noor Bakht’s Pain with Hip Surgery

Noor Bakht's Story

Noor Bakht, a 73-year-old woman from Lahore, has been experiencing pain in both of her hip joints for the past several years. What started as a dull ache has now turned into persistent pain that makes even the simplest movements unbearable. Daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting out of bed have become extremely difficult for her. Concerned for her health, her family took her to a local hospital. After a thorough consultation, X-rays, and related tests, the doctors diagnosed her with severe osteoarthritis of both hip joints. This degenerative joint disease has worn down the cartilage in her hip, leaving her bones to painfully rub against each other.

Her left hip joint is more affected. Therefore, the doctor recommended a Left Total Hip Replacement (THR) to restore her mobility. However, her family can’t afford the surgery. Without this surgery, Noor’s condition will continue to worsen. It may make her completely bedridden and lead to joint deformity and further cartilage damage. 

Noor lives with her daughter and son-in-law in a small home in Lahore. Her son-in-law works as a security guard and earns around PKR 35,000 per month. He is the only breadwinner in the family and struggles to meet their day-to-day needs. With a limited income and rising expenses for food, utilities, and other essentials, they are unable to afford the cost of Noor’s life-changing surgery. During this difficult time, they have turned to Transparent Hands and asked for help.

With teary eyes, her daughter shared:

“I can’t see my mother struggle to sit, stand, and walk. She is old now and deserves to live the remaining years of her life with comfort and joy. We want to help her get better, but we simply don’t have the money. All we wish is to see her walk again without pain.”
