My procedure was on October 6, 2022. It was a Laminectomy and foraminotomy.<\/p>\n
Before I came to see Dr. Girardi, I had been experiencing pain and numbness in my left foot for nine long months. The pain was getting worse by the day, and at its peak, I could only walk for a maximum of three minutes before the pain became unbearable. I tried various treatments to relieve the pain, including physical therapy, multiple steroid injections, various pain medications, and even acupuncture, but nothing seemed to work. The constant pain had a significant impact on my life, affecting my ability to work, exercise, and even perform simple tasks around the house. It was an incredibly frustrating and demoralizing experience.<\/p>\n
My surgical experience was amazing, and I started feeling better within just five days of the surgery. I was able to return to some light work on my computer within just two days of the procedure. The pain in my foot was completely gone within one week, and I have been feeling better and better ever since. I can now walk almost unlimited distances without any pain and have very minimal back pain, which is mainly due to weakened muscles. Just two months after my surgery, I was able to take a two-week business trip to Europe, where I felt no pain. The surgery has been life-changing, and I am incredibly grateful for the relief it has brought me. Thank you so much for your expert care and attention to my needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
