Patient Story of: Keith Bremer
Scotch Plains, NJ
Spinal Decompression Surgery
Share this Story
I have had spinal stenosis for years. The condition worsened in 2021 such that a walk of 100 yards or longer triggered sharp pain in glute muscles, burning in both shins and then numbness in both legs from hips to feet. This severely limited my mobility. Dr. Dowdell performed a spinal decompression surgery on me. All symptoms disappeared immediately. Two days after surgery I walked two miles. And it has continued to get better. A new lease on a life of movement.
