HI there. What is your name? Carmen Riojas

So Carmen could you please explain some of the symptoms you were experiencing before you came to the Bellevue Pain Institute?

Yes. I had burning of the feet and my hands were tingling but my feet especially were burning quite a bit.

Your feet were burning? Yes.

Did it keep you up at night? Yes, I would cry myself to sleep at night.

Oh gosh. And what did you try before you came to Dr. Polzin? I tried creams, the doctors gave me pain medication, just short lived they wouldn’t work that much. And I did try the Cymbalta but that was driving me crazy so I had to stop taking that.

And so your final exam today, how do you feel? I feel wonderful, and I really give a lot of credit to Dr. Polzin for doing this for me. My son is a podiatrist and said there was nothing he could do for me. I did see the ad in the newspaper and that is why we went to the seminar. We were really hesitant about doing it, but my husband says that he is tired of hearing me cry so that why we decided to try this. And it’s been a miracle for me.

So no more crying yourself to sleep? No more crying myself to sleep.

And how about walking, is walking any easier for you? Oh much easier, yes.

And the burning in your feet? It’s gone. My boss at work even made a comment ‘you’re getting much better, I can tell just by the way you are walking’

Wow, that’s wonderful. Would you recommend us to anyone? Yes. I will definitely recommend. I did talk to my son about it and he thought that was a wonderful thing to do for he’s for it he said. He’s a podiatrist and he said that he doesn’t think his patients would want to pay you know the cost of it. But to me it was worth it

I’m glad you are feeling much better thank you for sharing with us! You are welcome.
