Zahid Awaits Hip Surgery to Walk Again

Muhammad Zahid's Story

Muhammad Zahid, a 29-year-old man from Lahore, has been battling constant pain for the past two years. His life has been overshadowed by the pain and discomfort in both of his hips. Walking, standing, or even performing basic daily tasks has become an overwhelming challenge and he uses crutches while walking. After consulting a doctor, Zahid underwent a series of tests including an X-ray which revealed the severity of his condition. He was diagnosed with Bilateral Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hips, a condition where the bone tissue in both hip joints begins to die due to poor blood supply. The doctor recommended Bilateral Total Hip Replacement surgery to restore his ability to move and alleviate the constant pain.

Zahid’s right hip replacement surgery was successfully performed through Transparent Hands in January 2025. Now, his left hip joint is symptomatic and needs total hip replacement surgery. However, Zahid can’t afford the surgery.

If his condition is left untreated, he may experience permanent loss of movement at the hip joint, making him unable to stand, sit, and walk.

Zahid’s life has come to a standstill due to his illness. He is unemployed and depends on his uncle, with whom he has lived since childhood after the tragic death of his parents. His uncle, a daily wage laborer, is the sole breadwinner in their household, making only PKR 25,000 per month. With a family to support and limited resources, Zahid’s uncle is unable to afford the high cost of the surgery required for Zahid’s left hip. Zahid’s condition continues to deteriorate, leaving him unable to care for his own family and struggling with daily pain.  During this challenging time, Zahid’s wife contacted Transparent Hands once again and asked for help.

Zahid’s wife said in despair:

“We are living in a constant state of worry and helplessness. All I want is for him to be able to walk again and live a pain-free life. But without surgery, there is no hope. We can’t afford this surgery, and we need your help.” 

This is a crucial moment for Zahid. Without the surgery, he will be unable to regain his mobility, and his quality of life will continue to decline. Your support is his last hope.
