“I had spinal stenosis at L4-L5. I was at a point that my legs would give out, and I had constant leg pain and numbness. My quality of life had totally changed. I couldn’t walk my dogs or go shopping.
I am a retired ER nurse and have seen many patients and friends/family who had fusions. So many had continued pain, and many had repeat surgeries. The quality of their lives had not improved significantly, and I did not want to have a fusion due to what I had seen. So, I did my research, looking for something different, something new that would help my situation.
I am doing so well. Now, I walk 3 miles and go to the gym. I am back to doing my daily routine, walking dogs, working in the yard, and living life. Today is 8 months since my surgery with Dr. Jared Ament. I am so thankful for TOPS.”
