FIROZKOH CITY (SW) – A growing number of women in Ghor province are suffering from back and joint pain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite seeking medical treatment, many of these women say they have struggled with these ailments for years.<\/p>\n

Khorshid, a 35-year-old woman, shared her experience with Salam Watandar, saying that she has repeatedly visited doctors for her back and leg pain, but still suffers.<\/p>\n

“Since last year, my back pain has worsened. I have had two MRIs check-up and visited hospitals. They told me I have issues with three or four vertebrae and suggested surgery. My back pain is severe; even sitting is painful, and after walking 10 to 11 steps, my back hurts, and I cannot continue moving. My back and right leg hurts a lot,” she explained.<\/p>\n

Gul Chehra and Zahra, two other women suffering from back and joint pain, attribute their conditions to hard labor.<\/p>\n

Gul Chehra said, “I have leg pain because of my work. I carry bricks, do plastering, build houses, feed the sheep, and work continuously. This has caused pain in my shoulders and legs.”<\/p>\n

Zahra added, “I went to the mountains, harvested grass and wheat, filled sacks, loaded them on cattle, and emptied them into storage. Now I am crippled by pain, unable to move from side to side at night.”<\/p>\n

Abdul Ahmad Noori, a doctor in Ghor, pointed to poor diet and economic hardships as key factors contributing to the rise in back and joint pain among women.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, many women, whether pregnant or not, suffer from joint and spinal pain. From my assessments, this is largely due to poverty and an imbalanced diet lacking proper nutrients,” Noori stated.<\/p>\n

While back and joint pain among women in Ghor is on the ririse, doctors say that adopting a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, milk, and yogurt can help combat these conditions.<\/p>\n
