“Pain free now!”
I am so happy with not being in pain anymore! I have arthritis so bad and was in pain when I first saw Dr Baig in August of 2012. One thing I really liked about Dr Baig was that he wasn't in a hurry to jump into surgery without trying non invasive treatments first. I tried physical therapy and 3 months of pain management which included lumbar injections to stop pain and reduce inflammation, unfortunately these didn't work for me. I had surgery in 2013. Everything went well & was up and walking the next day. Evening of day 2 following surgery I had a hematoma (brain bleed type stroke) while in the hospital. The 3rd day, I thank God that Dr. Baig came by on his day off to see how I was doing as he was the only one that noticed something was wrong. None of the hospital staff noticed even though I was complaining of horrible headaches & bad double vision. The next thing I know I am in intensive care for the next week. A hematoma can happen to anyone at anytime. You would think being in a hospital would be the best place to be if you were going to have one! Dr. Baig saved my life and I will alway be grateful. It doesn't hurt that the lumbar fusion surgery was a success and I've gone from pain meds every 3 hrs to no pain meds and no leg or back pain! Dr. Baig is honest and doesn't sugar coat the truth. I like that, plus he is a great surgeon.
Thank you Dr. Baig!
