My pain began in my late teens, doing construction and heavy lifting as a summer job. When diagnosed, I was 17 years old with a herniated disc. I was prescribed muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories. Eventually I was also diagnosed with DDD and was told it has hereditary and nothing could be done. The pain went down both of my legs and into my whole back. I was on medications for 20 years. Seeing multiple doctors with no relief, I tried electro shock therapy with no results. I was told my only two options were either back surgery or a lifetime of medications. With simple movements the back pain would leave me bed ridden for days, unable to walk. I was unable to stand for more then 5 minutes, and sports were out of the question after having a loved sport for many years. The worse part was being unable to bend forward to pick up my daughter.
It was important to me to create my own testimony for others feeling the way I did, because it was the testimonies that gave me the courage to come and see Dr. Ron, and it gave me hope. Now I thankfully feel 99% better than when I began. I am now able enjoy the activities that for years I couldn’t. I am able to play with my little girl again just in time for her third birthday. For those who are reading, this my only advice is: if you think you’ve tried everything then try this. What do you have to lose?
