About this video

Whitney says she had pain for about two years, and it got really bad in the months before her surgery. She says she didn't have weakness or changes in her movement, but her MRI showed how bad her herniation was. She says she hasn't had pain since coming out of surgery and calls it incredible.

I would need, do I have your permission to record this and post this online on the website?

Yes.

Okay, tell us about yourself and your experience.

I have had pain for about two years, and it wasn’t until the months up until my surgery that it got really, really bad. And I came in here, and I didn’t have any weakness or changes in my movement, but my MRI showed how bad my herniation was. And then, as soon as I came out of surgery, I haven’t had pain since. It was incredible. Thank you very much.
