Mumbai, Maharashtra (UNA) :

Veteran actor and television personality Archana Puran Singh has opened up about a rare medical condition that has left one of her hands permanently affected. The condition developed after a wrist injury and continues to cause pain and movement difficulties even after treatment.

Doctors have identified the condition as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, a disorder in which the nervous system keeps sending pain signals long after an injury should have healed. People living with it often experience constant pain, swelling, stiffness and extreme sensitivity, making simple daily tasks challenging.

For common people, Archana’s experience highlights how even a routine injury can sometimes lead to long-term health issues. The condition is not widely known, which often leads to delayed diagnosis and prolonged discomfort for patients. Early medical attention and proper rehabilitation are crucial in managing symptoms.

Despite the physical limitations, Archana has continued her professional work and public appearances, showing resilience and determination. Her decision to speak openly has helped raise awareness about chronic pain conditions that are often misunderstood or overlooked.

Medical experts say treatment focuses on pain management, physiotherapy and long-term care rather than a complete cure. While recovery varies from person to person, ongoing support plays a key role in improving quality of life.

Health professionals advise anyone experiencing persistent pain after an injury to seek timely medical advice. Increased awareness can help patients get earlier diagnosis, better care and emotional support while living with such conditions.
