Joni in Irvine, CA suffered from unbearable nerve pain in both legs from the hips down.
OMG, where do I start? Along with the nerve pain in both legs from hip to lower leg, I was unable to sit in an upright position on either the floor or bed – I couldn’t hold myself up. The pain was so unbearable that I was not able to drive farther than 10 minutes away and was unable to sit in a normal office chair. I couldn’t relax in a normal leather chair at home and the only comfortable place to be in was horizontal on the living room or bed, with wedge pillows – after awhile the pressure in the lumbar area was too great; so constantly moving and fidgeting seemed to work best for me. I was unable to lean/bend over to reach into the refrigerator or even grab a bar of soap on the shower. The inability to do the slightest of routine tasks was very troublesome. And the sleeping, constantly turning over many times throughout the night – resulting in poor sleeping hygiene.
…I can now sit in chairs for long periods of time, I actually have enough core support to hold myself upright. I do make a conscious effort to incorporate my exercise routine even while at work – taking hourly breaks from the computer/desk is important to me. I have the ability to drive for longer trips. Everything has so much improved. With the help of my daily exercise program prescribed to me, I am now able activate my core for much longer periods of time and am always extremely conscious of body mechanics – but, still am very cautious about how my body moves in synchronicity (without pain too).
The time that I spent with Dr. Twombly’s staff was immeasurable. The staff was very instrumental in my rehabilitation and they offered a place to really feel comfortable in – I just felt so at home. The level of care was heartfelt and I enjoyed the time while I was receiving my treatment. Furthermore, the knowledge I received from both Steve/Chris on exercise biomechanics, physiology, and motor behavior was very key in understanding my own movement in daily activities – my own conscious awareness. It would be my pleasure to offer as many referrals as possible to this office and I consider myself a patient for a very long time moving forward – they have truly saved me!
