Back Surgeries Failed to Bring Charles Relief
For Charles, being able to work in his yard, play with his grandkids and ride a bicycle again after a decade of back pain so severe he could barely walk are just three of the reasons he is happy with his decision to have an HFX implant.
“When two back surgeries failed to provide relief, I started using alcohol and prescription pills to manage my pain,” Charles recalled. “They helped a bit, but I realized they were not long-term solutions.”
“I am almost completely pain free.”
Charles took Dr. Donald Greco’s suggestion to see if HFX could reduce his chronic pain in a trial. The pain relief during the trial was significant so Charles went on to have an implant in March 2017.
“It has been more than a year since the implant and I am almost completely pain free and very grateful that I no longer need to rely on alcohol or medication,” Charles said.
