Failed Back Surgery
‘Hi
my name is Jinah – approximately 2-weeks after writing my testimonial
for the September 06 HyperMED Newsletter I was in a terrible accident -
a tram crashed into the rear of a taxi I was a passenger! I suffered
terrible whiplash to my neck and back; I felt electric shocks all over
my body and down into my legs. I was rushed by ambulance to the same
hospital I had been many times for my back condition prior to attending
hyperbaric. The same orthopaedic doctors who saw me for my back before
again requested new MRIs (right) to compare with my old MRIs (left)
which I had around the time I started treatment at HyperMED. My surgeon
was completely surprised by the new MRIs and was very interested to know
the treatment I had been getting given he originally wanted to fuse my
spine. He said I now no longer needed surgery! I was released from
hospital and I went straight back into hyperbaric and within about 6
sessions; not only has my whiplash settled but my back has again
stabilised.
Briefly, my back
was operated on in 1998 and I have suffered terrible pain even since. I
have been in and out of hospitals many times and eventually recommended
a spinal fusion. Out of sheer desperation I started Hyperbaric; my
recovery has been amazing! The MRI on the left is the most recent MRI
when I first started at HyperMED. The MRI on the right was taken
immediately after the tram crashed into the taxi! Thankyou’.
