My Doctors Failed Me
About one year ago I began to feel some pain in my low back. It began as a mild tolerable pain, so I imagined it would go away. Then one day I felt the pain radiate down to my right hip. I couldn’t sleep properly and I couldn’t even walk like I usually did. I would always wake up having slept only a few hours. This pain really affected my mood and even made me irritable at times. I started going to my regular MD who told me I had a mild disc protrusion, but for that I only received pain medication and that didn’t seem to help much. Then when I went back to my doctor I asked for physical therapy and all he did was give me a book and no one showed me how to do the exercises. I became very upset; I felt my doctors failed to help me like they should have! Finally, I found Inland Back & Neck Pain in the newspaper and came in for a consultation. After a few treatments I began to feel some relief. I have been walking 3 to 4 blocks now and I definitely have less sciatic pain. My pain is not completely gone but I feel much better! The doctor and the staff were very caring and compassionate!
