Dr. Raghunandan R, MD (Anaesthesia), is an anaesthesiologist and pain specialist with 18 years of experience. He consults at Sharda Clinic, Shastri Nagar, Bengaluru, Monday to Saturday.

Your first visit

Long-lasting pain usually has more than one cause. The first visit is about finding out where yours comes from and what has already been tried.

  1. He listens first

    Where it hurts, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects your sleep and work. A family member is welcome in the room.

  2. Examination and reports

    A careful examination and a look at your X-rays or MRI. A new scan is asked for only when it will change the plan.

  3. A plan you can follow

    Medicines, exercises and posture advice, and whether an injection may help, with what it involves and what to expect afterwards.

What to bring

  • A list of the painkillers and other medicines you take
  • Notes from doctors and physiotherapists you have seen
  • Blood sugar reports, if you have diabetes

Pain medicine

Pain treated

Dr. Raghunandan is an anaesthesiologist who treats long-lasting pain: finding where it comes from, then easing it with medicines, exercises and, when needed, targeted injections. These are the most common reasons people come to see Dr. Raghunandan.

  • Low back pain and sciatica

    Pain in the back, or running down the leg, from a slipped disc, a narrowed spine or strained joints.

  • Neck and shoulder pain

    Stiffness and pain from cervical spondylosis, muscle knots and frozen shoulder, often with tingling down the arm.

  • Knee and joint pain

    Pain from arthritis that makes walking and stairs hard, treated before or instead of surgery where this is possible.

  • Nerve pain

    Burning or shooting pain from diabetes, shingles or a pinched nerve, which ordinary painkillers often do not touch.

  • Headache and facial pain

    Long-lasting headaches, and the sudden electric pain of trigeminal neuralgia.

  • Cancer pain

    Pain during or after cancer treatment, eased so that daily life and sleep can return.

  • Procedures for pain

    Nerve blocks and epidural steroid injections, used when medicines and exercises are not enough.

This list covers the most common reasons for a visit. If your problem is not listed, send a request and ask.

What patients say

Stories from patients and families, in their own words.

    Pain relief is more than a painkiller.

    Movement, sleep, posture and the right medicine for the right kind of pain all work together. The panel lists the medicines you may hear about.

    • Keep gently active unless told otherwise: long bed rest usually makes back pain worse.
    • Do not take several painkillers together without asking your doctor.
    • Weakness in a leg, trouble passing urine, or back pain with fever needs a doctor the same day.
