Life-Changing Care — I Have My Life Back!
Before my surgery, I was living in constant pain and taking five different prescriptions to get through the day. I couldn’t stand for more than three minutes without severe discomfort. I relied on a walker and a cane, suffered from neuropathy, anxiety, and depression, and my quality of life was poor. I weighed only 155 lbs, and I felt that I was being treated with contempt by creation.
After my surgery, everything has changed. I’m now down to one prescription, my neuropathy is minimal, and I can walk a mile comfortably. I’ve regained strength and energy, gained healthy weight (now 185 lbs), and my anxiety is low. Best of all, I can enjoy the things I love again — hiking, bicycling, and even motorcycling.
I will be eternally grateful to Dr Iannotti and his fantastic team at CORE.
