Valerie's Breakthrough with LinQ: Overcoming SI Joint Pain
Valerie had suffered from intense SI joint pain since February 2023. Her pain kept her from a once-active lifestyle filled with weekly tennis matches and enjoying everyday activities. Valerie’s journey to a pain-free life began with Stephen T. Pyles, MD, at Pain Treatment Centers, where she found lasting relief through the LinQ procedure.
Life in Chronic Pain
Valerie’s pain started to intensify after undergoing four back surgeries. Activities that were once routine, like sitting, standing up, and even vacuuming, became sources of significant discomfort. An avid tennis player, she was forced to give up playing three times a week due to the pain.
Exploring Various Pain Management Techniques
Before turning to LinQ, Valerie tried various methods to manage her pain. This included activity modification, using ice packs, and receiving SI joint injections. Despite these efforts, the consistent pain remained a major obstacle in her life.
The Decision for LinQ: A Turning Point
Faced with continuous pain and limited relief from other treatments, Valerie decided to try LinQ following the recommendation of Dr. Pyles. This decision was motivated by her desire to find a more effective and lasting solution to her SI joint pain.
The Immediate Impact of LinQ
The LinQ procedure marked a significant change for Valerie. Remarkably, she noticed an improvement in her symptoms the very next day after the procedure. The pain that had been a constant presence in her life began to subside.
Post-LinQ: A New Chapter of Comfort
Today, Valerie enjoys a life free from SI joint pain. She can perform daily tasks without discomfort, a significant improvement from her pre-LinQ days. While she still manages limitations due to spinal pain, the absence of SI joint pain has been a major positive change. Activities like going for walks, which were once challenging, are now part of her regular routine.
