Gary S. from Arkansas

Patient Name: Gary S.
Age: 64
Location: AR

Diagnosis: Spinal Stenosis, L4/L5 vertebrae touching

Procedure Date: June 3, 2006

Type of Procedure: DND

Pre-Surgery Life Style / Condition: Lower back pain and numb feet started in March, causing problems as a bus driver.  After diagnosis in Springfield, MO, I was told no surgery until it gets worse, about 10 years.  I was in pain and could barely walk some days, nor play music on stage.

Post-Surgery Outcome: I walked out of surgery feeling immediate relief. Within a few weeks my numb feet got better and at this date (9/21/2009) it only returns slightly every now and then. Getting better and my back pain has not returned so far.
