I started experiencing excruciating pain in my legs which progressively got worse. I was always an active person, but my leg pain made it hard for me to walk or stand for long periods of time. The pain became debilitating and affected my daily life, which is when I knew I had to do something about it.

I was able to schedule my surgery with Dr. Hughes within three weeks of my first consultation and the entire process was seamless. The day of the surgery went extremely smoothly and Dr. Hughes and the entire HSS and SpineCare team were truly amazing. I could not have asked for a better experience and appreciated the entire team constantly checking on me.

It has only been a little over three months since my surgery and I feel completely back to normal. I was amazed at how quickly my leg pain disappeared following my procedure. I am now able to walk farther and stand for longer, and the most rewarding thing is being able to play with my granddaughter again. If you’re in the same position as me, I encourage you to seek help and visit Dr. Hughes so you can have your life back.
