My mother, who is 80 years old,
began suffering
from terrible pain due to post polio syndrome about a year ago.
I took her to many physicians and therapists who couldn't do
anything for her. I was then referred to an anethesiologist by
my family doctor. He told me that she had helped many tough pain
cases. I took my mother to see Dr. Rosenblatt immediately. Since
my mother had a few other medical conditions, Dr. Rosenblatt did
some research and had us come back a few days later. She's
been treating my mother with low does steriod and painblocking
injections as well as some long acting
pain medication. It's been miraculous. My mother has been able
to function again. Even though her muscle weakness makes it
difficult, she's driving and doing her own shopping again. I
want to get her a scooter and lift for her car. I hope others
can experience the same improvement.
Thank you,
Hal - Lighthouse Point, Florida |
