Playing tennis is something Elizabeth enjoys to stay active, but she knew something wasn’t right when she suddenly couldn’t move her arm. Thinking it was a shoulder injury, Elizabeth sought medical help when she was introduced to Dr. Hooman Melamed. Evaluating her MRI, Dr. Melamed’s suspicions were confirmed. Elizabeth had suffered a severe neck injury that was preventing her from lifting, or at times even using, her arm. Dr. Melamed recommended emergency surgery, performing a successful operation for a double herniated disc of Elizabeth’s C5 vertebrae. Now Elizabeth is back to living pain-free and playing tennis again.
