“They worked with me to find a solution.”
REAL PEOPLE, REAL STORIES
Meet Jill
In 2006, Jill broke her foot on an amusement park ride with her 4-year-old daughter.
After surgery to fix the break, Jill began suffering from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, now recognized as a form of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
“It’s kind of like that feeling when your leg has been asleep and starts getting tingly, but worse. And it never stopped,” as she describes it.
Jill had twisted her foot when it broke, and every time she walked on it, the muscles were dislocated all over again. She could no longer walk on her leg without a cast or boot. After five more surgeries, Jill lost her job and had to go on disability.
Nura Understands Your Pain
“I had growths in my foot that had to be shaved off. I had pain meds. I had injection after injection after injection. I was so doped up that I missed parts of my life.”
Making matters worse, inactivity caused her weight to increase, eventually to more than 300 pounds.
Jill’s long climb back began when she met the team at Nura.
“They determined I’d be a perfect candidate for a Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulator. I had a trial implant, and the difference was so dramatic I wanted to keep the trial unit. My foot was no longer gray for the first time in 11 years — it was pink!”
Six months later, Jill had her permanent implant. Today, she is back at work and has already lost over 100 pounds.
“It’s unbelievable how I can move around. I was miserable, and they worked with me to find a solution. At my previous pain clinic, it was injection-injection-injection.”
So, I would say to anyone in pain: “If there’s something wrong, don’t you want it fixed? Take the time to call Nura. There’s something they can do to help.”
