Dr. Jones Leads Woman Through a Life-changing LinQ to Life Experience
Between being a grandmother, riding horses, and working as a nurse, Deborah’s life was always busy and on the go. That was until she began to suffer from chronic right leg and lower back pain that gradually worsened and made it harder to do the things she loved.
Deborah initially thought she was experiencing back pain from being a nurse. However, once her pain began to severely affect her life, she started to think it might be something more serious. That’s when she decided to consult with Ramoun D. Jones, MD, at The Pain Center of Arizona.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Jones discovered that it was the sacroiliac (SI) joint that was the source of Deborah’s pain. As a result, he recommended the LinQ SI Joint Stabilization System to provide Deborah with long-term relief.
Deborah Stands Up to Her Back Pain
Deborah began to experience pain in 2005, and as her pain got worse, things like working and spending time with her grandchildren became increasingly difficult.
“I couldn’t do anything I liked to do. Every day was a struggle,” Deborah said. “Working was so painful. It got to the point where I could not work anymore.”
This led her to try pain medications and injections. However, this only masked the problem and gave her a short-term solution. Eager to get her life back, Deborah decided to consult with Dr. Jones for a more long-term solution.
Dr. Jones Provides Deborah with the Relief She Needed
After Dr. Jones provided Deborah with a diagnosis, he recommended the LinQ procedure to provide her with long-term relief. Upon further researching the procedure, Deborah decided to move forward with treatment.
She was pain-free the moment she came out of anesthesia and is now able to do the things she loves, thanks to Dr. Jones and the LinQ procedure.
“I can walk and hike with my family, ride in a car on long drives without pain, fly on planes, ride horses, garden, and work as a nurse two nights a week,” Deborah exclaimed. “Nothing better than this for someone like me. I haven’t felt this way in years!”
What Is the LinQ Procedure for Low Back Pain?
The LinQ SI Joint Stabilization System is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small bone allograft to fuse the dysfunctional SI joint and potentially provide long-term pain relief.
LinQ is an outpatient procedure that uses a posterior approach, away from major nerves and blood vessels, to treat the SI joint. This allows patients to quickly return home following the procedure and experience a shorter recovery time compared to traditional approaches.
