“My Mental And Physical Status Have Improved Dramatically!”
“Because of my back, leg and ankle pain, I was headed towards back fusion surgery. I had become more and more limited in all aspects of my life. I had to quit exercising (resulting in an added thirty pounds).
I could no longer work. I even had difficulty getting out of a chair and walking more than a few dozen steps at a time. My pain kept me from sleeping through the night. Worst of all, because of the frustration and mental anguish resulting from the pain and inability to participate in life’s simplest activities, depression and anxiety became a daily battle. My future looked full of drastic physical limitations, misery and pain.
After working with Dr. Greenlee and undergoing spinal decompression, my pain was reduced to a minimum…often I feel no pain at all. I can now exercise and go for three mile walks! I sleep soundly most nights. I am feeling like my pre-injury self again! I had thought my working life had come to an end, but I am starting a work revocation program and getting on with my life! My mental status and physical status has improved dramatically. I know I have a positive future ahead of me!
