A short patient testimonial video (YouTube) in which Coralayne describes receiving cortisone injections (right shoulder for bursitis) and trigger point injections in her back from Dr. Truong for osteoarthritis. She reports she cannot take oral anti-inflammatory medication, was referred after other providers failed to help, has been a patient since 2007, experienced near-complete pain relief after about three to four visits, and now returns for preventive treatment. She praises Dr. Truong and the clinic staff as caring and non-prescriptive.

Questions this video answers

Since 2007.

A cortisone injection for bursitis in the right shoulder.

Trigger point injections in her back.

About three or four visits.

She cannot take anti-inflammatory medication.

All right, thank you for being here today. Coralayne, tell us, what kind of procedure did Dr. Truong have for you? What type of treatments are you receiving?
Well, I have a lot of problems with my shoulders. So today I got a cortisone injection in my right shoulder because I have bursitis. But I also get trigger point injections in my back. It's just osteoarthritis and I can't take anti inflammatory medication. So I have to rely on this, which seems to help a great deal.
And what was life like before you started having these treatments with Dr. Truong?
Well, when I had the worst pain in my shoulders, it was unbearable. I had gone to my primary care physician. They couldn't help. They sent me to an orthopedist. He couldn't help. So they referred me to Dr. Trong. And it was like a miracle. After about three or four visits, I was pain free. And that way I had been coming to her since 2007. So now I come back more for preventative treatment.
So what is your level of pain like today? What's life like for you now?
Well, it's so much better because I know I can rely on her to help me when I get to the point where the pain is, you know, unbearable. But today I'm a little. I hurt a little bit because I, you know, I. My arthritis has flared up. But, you know, with the injections and the trigger points, it'll get better.
Okay, and what was your experience like with Dr. Truong and the staff here at Truong Rehabilitation?
They are the nicest people. They don't push medication on you. They don't push anything you don't want to do. They don't push it on you. So I love Dr. Truong. She's to me, a miracle worker. And I'd advise anybody that is in pain, they don't need to be in pain. They need to come see her.
Well, thank you for being here. We appreciate your feedback and we are glad that you're living with less pain these days.
You're welcome. Thank you.
