I have suffered from lower back pain for years and it is to the point t that I struggle to walk and struggle to stand for long periods of time. Dr. Alex seems to quickly grasp my issues and I have been having injections to try to calm my S/I joints. I was able to stand for four hours today to prepare meals for several days. My husband very much appreciates this! Pain has always been part of my life since having childhood RA. I am grateful that t I have been able to find some relief.
