Fibromyalgia pain online consultation.
Why Online Consultations Matter for Fibromyalgia
Accessibility: Fibromyalgia often makes mobility difficult due to widespread pain and fatigue. Online consultations allow patients to receive expert advice from the comfort of their homes.
Personalized care: Dr. Saxena tailors exercise programs, lifestyle modifications, and coping strategies to each patient’s unique symptoms and limitations.
Continuity of support: Regular check-ins via telehealth help patients stay consistent with their management plans, which is crucial for chronic conditions.
Holistic management: His consultations often emphasize not just physical therapy but also stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and pacing techniques, which are key to managing fibromyalgia.

My senior citizen patients from cities like Jalandhar, Jaipur, Indore and Mysore are usually active either with household basics or walk. I do not disturb most of their regular activities when they have low back pain or knee pain. I guide them to make the same movement more meaningful and effective in pain management. A few added tricks for home based pain relief and a few follow ups in the next 2-3 months. That's it, most people need guidance not treatment.Working towards making patients self dependent is a satisfying way of keeping my practice relevant to all sections of the society. Joint pain is so common that we can't have all people visiting hospitals and clinics all the time. Segregation of complicated cases from the easily treatable ones makes it easy.

AI has been good so far. It has helped me convey my message of movement as treatment with better efficiency. It has changed my record keeping. It has helped me remember case history better.

AI replacing me? Doesn't look possible anytime soon.

It can't represent the human connect that I have made with patients. It can't connect dots of a son's health based on his father's health history whom I treated 15 years ago.

It can't relate with changes in lifestyle of a person who moved to the US from India and needs a different approach to exercise now. It can't joke about "both of us ageing" with a patient who first visited me during his first job and has recently turned 43.
