In Pain for Months, Helped Back By Getfitstayfit Norfolk.

I was born with scoliosis and had a Spinal Fusion at three years old. The operation worked very well up until the age of around 20 when I started to notice lower back pain. This increased over the years leaving me struggling with chronic pain. I tried various things like epidural and nerve root injections but nothing seemed to work. In June 2016 I underwent surgery to correct the curve in my spine, taking a piece out and replacing it with a metal cage as well as two metal rods either side for support. Unfortunately during the operation The surgeon caught my spinal cord leaving me in Spinal Shock and temporally paralysed from the waist down, but within days I started being able to move my legs very slightly but I was unable to move my toes or my feet.

Trapped Nerve and Planter Fasciitis.

Hi Steve,

I came to see you hoping for some relief of the symptoms of a trapped nerve and planter fasciitis.

For at least 6 months I have suffered with the planter fascia and the pain has got worse and worse until I was only able to walk in high heels.

Then with a trapped nerve somewhere in my shoulder. That I have received treatment from a physiotherapist on the NHS for , but sadly no response to the treatment, or indeed a diagnosis.

The pain which spread from the shoulder/neck into my head, arm, chest and back. and with the problem in my foot I was getting worn out.

You were recommended to me and I came to you for treatment. After two hours of treatment on your machine and wonderful (albeit slightly uncomfortable at times) Sports Injury Therapy.

I left feeling very relaxed. Then this morning!!!! I have just had the best night sleep I have had for years not months and my shoulder feels so much easier. I got out of bed prepared to limp to the bathroom and found I could walk on my foot!!

“OK so I slept right through the alarm the following day and was late for work but hey ho!!

I honestly had no idea how bad I was feeling until I felt so much better today than I have in a long time.

I am not yet pain free but after my session next week I hope to be!! AND all cheaper than the excess on our private health insurance!!
