Karen’s Path to Relief from SI Joint Dysfunction with LinQ
For years, Karen battled with the debilitating effects of sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, a pain that rooted back to an accident in high school. It was her proactive online search that led her to the LinQ procedure, expertly administered by Ali Kassamali, MD, at Alliance Spine and Pain Centers.
Decades of Searching for an Answer
A high school accident laid the foundation for Karen’s chronic pain. Over the years, she faced intervals of immobilizing attacks that grew frequent. Activities like standing, twisting, and bending intensified her discomfort. The pain, initially one-sided, shifted over time, starting from her lower back and radiating through her hips, glute, and down the side of her leg, sometimes reaching her knee.
To combat her symptoms, Karen explored various treatments — physical therapy, injections, an L4-5 fusion that failed, spinal cord stimulation, and even cortisone shots. Yet, she remained in pain.
Discovering LinQ: A Turning Point
Frustrated but determined, Karen began researching alternatives. That’s when she found LinQ. After taking PainTEQ’s SI Joint Pain Quiz online, she was promptly connected to Dr. Kassamali by Courtney, a representative from PainTEQ.
Understanding the LinQ Procedure
For those unfamiliar, the LinQ procedure offers a minimally invasive approach to address SI joint dysfunction. Through a single implant in the SI joint, the LinQ system works to stabilize the joint, promoting long-term relief and improving joint stability. The entire procedure requires just a small incision, allowing for a quicker recovery period compared to traditional surgeries.
A New Lease on Life
Within a week of undergoing the LinQ procedure, Karen noticed a stark difference. The symptoms that had restricted her for years started fading away. Today, she proudly shares the joys of a life reclaimed. Daily chores that once seemed daunting are now part of her routine. More importantly, she’s rediscovered hobbies she once loved, like golfing.
Karen’s journey from enduring constant pain to reclaiming her life stands as a testament to the efficacy of the LinQ procedure for SI Joint Dysfunction. She’s now living proof of its potential, enjoying day-to-day activities and hobbies that once seemed impossible.
