Unfortunately I have had a lot of battle scars. Two back surgeries within 6 months. Doctor broke my back putting in Ray cages. I was bed ridden and could not walk, drive a car and had 2 little kids. Researched like crazy and found Dr. Andrew Casden. He saved my life. Husband and 2 small kids Flew with me to Beth Israel medical center for a 5 1/2 hour surgery. They took bone marrow from hip to fuse my back when putting in bolts and screws. Went in on a Monday and walked out on the following Thursday with no pain. I run 5 miles a day, leg press 450 plus, lift more weight than most men, and was told I would never run again. God is good!
