Jeanne
Procedure: ACDF
What was your initial medical issue?
For about 2-3 months, I had severe pain in my shoulder down through my hand. Then it turned to numbness. I didn’t know at that point that I had a neck problem. I was seeing a chiropractor at the time and after a month, he recommended an MRI, which showed deteriorating discs in my neck.
What did this issue prevent you doing?
After a month, pretty much everything. I couldn’t lift my arm to hold the steering wheel. I couldn’t do daily chores.
What made you decide to do something about your problem?
It just got to be too much pain.
Why did you choose Dr. Sinicropi?
Dr. Sinicropi was in-network for us so it made sense. After we saw him for the first time we realized how blessed we were to find him and his staff.
What treatment/procedure did you have done?
ACDF surgery.
How did you feel after treatment?
When I woke up I didn’t have much pain at all. I actually sat up and ate ice cream shortly after the procedure!
What advice would you give other patients in a similar situation to you?
I’m better off now than I was before I had any issues. It’s like I never even had a problem with my neck. I’ve already given Dr. Sinicropi’s name out to people I know with similar problems. I think he’s absolutely wonderful!
