I first saw Dr Reddy about 4 months ago. I was new to this area and new to this state having moved here in October 2023. I have been suffering with neck and low back pain for many years. Took hydrocodone for severe knee injury, replacement surgery, a mishap with surgery and after 3 years was finally given approval to have another knee replacement done on that right knee. That was in 2013. I have severe arthritis throughout my body. Have had 4 or 5 foot surgeries, rt knee replaced x 2, left knee replaced x1. Both shoulders replaced, and a couple of surgeries on my hands. I met with Dr Reddy to see if he felt my back pain could be treated by nerve ablation as I finally weaned myself off of the hydrocodone and was trying to find other means to get relief from constant severe pain. Dr. Reddy gave me more information and it was necessary to get new xrays for him. We decided to wait until I recovered from the shoulder replacement I was soon to have on my left arm. Finally the time came when he was able to do two trial runs on my lumbar/sacral area of using a numbing injection that would last a few hours to see if he was targeting the correct area of pain. The two trial runs worked well. This week I went yesterday for the first actual ablation of the targeted area- the right side f spine under anesthesia. Today I returned to have the left side of the spine treated. Both ablations went really well. I felt absolutely no pain. So over the next few days I should be seeing great improvement in my low back. In 3 weeks, I will go back and we will begin to do the same process for my cervical area. I am so looking forward to living without pain in my back! The two physicians at this clinic are just great! Dr Reddy clearly questions and explains. All of the rest of the staff are also very knowledgeable and personable. I am so glad my google search directed me to this clinic!!
