I had an MRI last September 2023 then an ALIF (lumbar fusion) by a surgeon who was recommended and has great reviews. My surgery was on 2/6/24 and 3 days after I told my surgeon my pain was intense and different than before.
It’s been 4 months, the pain is debilitating. I made an appointment to see Dr. Macrinici based on my PT attending a lecture from Doctor over the weekend. I was squeezed in.
Doctors staff is exceptional! The first time I’ve felt welcomed, cared for and HEARD. The staff heard me so I knew Dr. Macrinici would too!
When he came in he was reading my chart, MRI & CT I had done earlier this week. We came up with a treatment plan; higher dose muscle relaxer and nerve blocker. 3 times more than the surgeon gave me after surgery. It has been a few weeks since I have had any pain medication/nerve blocker.
This appointment made me cry happy tears! 🥹 I se Dr. Macrinici again Friday for an SI injection.
I am thrilled by this doctor and his team! I highly recommend!
