She had endured knee pain for more than three years before deciding to seek medical care. Initially, the symptoms were caused by the nature of her job, which required prolonged standing, leading to tendon inflammation, combined with pre-existing knee osteoarthritis. As a result, the pain did not subside.

Moreover, over the past 5–6 months, the symptoms progressively worsened to the point where she was unable to walk. Following a recommendation from a colleague, she consulted a physician at Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, where she was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis.

Common symptoms in such patients include severe knee pain, leg deformities such as bowlegs or knock-knees, difficulty walking, and an increased risk of falls. After careful consideration, the physician determined that the patient was still relatively young and not yet suitable for knee replacement surgery.

Instead, the doctor recommended corrective osteotomy, a surgical procedure to realign the bones and redistribute weight-bearing forces. This involved placing a metal fixation device in the leg to correct the bowing and restore normal alignment. At the same time, this treatment helps delay the need for knee replacement, as proper leg alignment reduces uneven stress on the knee joint and slows the progression of degeneration to some extent.

 

She had been living with diabetes for over 20 years and had previously developed a chronic foot ulcer that failed to heal, eventually requiring the amputation of four toes.

Not long afterward, a small red spot appeared on the sole of his foot, resembling a mosquito bite, which later developed into a wound. Despite regular cleaning and wound care, there were no signs of healing.

Approximately 6–7 months later, the affected toe became swollen and red, and his mother noticed that she was experiencing pain in the toe. She then took him to see a physician at Ramkhamhaeng Hospital.

After evaluation, the physician explained that the condition was caused by peripheral arterial disease. Treatment was performed using balloon angioplasty to dilate the narrowed blood vessels. As a result, the previously non-healing wound gradually improved and completely healed within one month.

 

He had been living with diabetes for many years when he suddenly began to experience leg pain. When he touched his leg and toes, he noticed that they felt abnormally cold, as if standing on ice. Even using an electric blanket provided no relief.

These symptoms occurred mostly at night, preventing him from sleeping and forcing him to rely on sleeping medication every night. Eventually, his daughter, who was his primary caregiver, could no longer bear to see him suffer and took him to consult a physician at Ramkhamhaeng Hospital.

After examination, he was diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease. Following treatment, the cold sensation in his legs and toes improved, becoming warm again, and the leg pain that had interfered with his sleep completely resolved.
