Throughout the years from 1994 until 2006, I saw quite a few doctors and none of them had a solution to my pain. Until I found Dr. Mark Roy. Dr. Roy is a smart, skilled neurosurgeon who showed particular compassion, he was never too busy to listen and explain things to me. He diagnosed me with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and severe sciatica. He performed my first fusion in 2007. I've had several surgeries since then. They corrected anatomical problems and were necessary, but they didn't "fix" me. My current diagnosis is Adult Degenerative Scoliosis, which affects my posture, my gait, and my self-esteem. I wish my back functioned well, but I'm living with what I have. I'm a mother and grandmother, and I love volunteering in my community.ver menos
