A veteran describes constant, severe pain that felt like an ice pick and made it impossible to reach overhead or work. Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter helped clarify what the pain was preventing, leading the patient to seek care at Pinnacle.
In the past, I was always able to kind of work around it. I couldn't work around it anymore, and it was pretty much painful all the time.
So what was life like before your treatment? What were your limitations?
The biggest limitation was anything that I had to reach over my back. If I had to reach over my back, it was Ice pick.
And he couldn't do that right there. That was what he couldn't do. That's right. So, I mean, any movement behind you, any movement over your head. Okay, what finally triggered you to come in and meet us here at Pinnacle?
That pain? In the past, I was always able to kind of work around it. I couldn't work around it anymore, and it was pretty much painful all the time. Certainly anytime that I had to use that kind of a movement, which is.
All day long, every day for most people. Right. Like, reaching behind you is a big deal.
