What others say
"Cutting my pain in half is still a world of pain, but I feel so much better than I did before…"
I was in a world of pain to begin with. Cutting it in half is still a world of pain, but I feel better than before the minimally invasive spinal cord stimulation procedure. My back has been falling apart steadily over the years. The chiropractor couldn’t help me. All my prior doctors did was put me on strong medication. I thought I was out of options.
I started seeing Dr. Fall to reduce my pain and medication. We tried epidurals, but that didn’t work. Within a couple of weeks after my surgery, I turned a corner. All the sudden you realize you’re feeling better. My friends noticed right away. They said it’s good to see you smiling and laughing again.
Anytime you get put under, it causes some concern. But I wasn’t worried or upset. It was better than the downside of not doing it. Everything was explained clearly, and I was well prepared before and taken care of after. They couldn’t do enough. When I woke up, they gave me a warm blanket. That calmed me right down. I knew I was in good hands.
He’s a one-of-a-kind, great doctor. He has a terrific bedside manner. Never misled me, always straightforward. He’s one of the best doctors I’ve ever had.
