Pain & Anger
: "I was able to get my discs fused! I have been suffering from chronic neck pain that radiated down my right arm. My pcp was out one day, so I was able to see a different dr. & she actually listened. The pain in my arm and hand have subsided and it’s just pain from the surgery so far! So grateful."
