I have had two epidural steroid injections in the lumbar area to help with the low back pain and they only helped for a short time. Dr. McClean not only helped the back but took away the pain from my coccyx, my left hip but also between my shoulders. He straightened my crooked shoulders also. Dad went with me and he also could not believe the good fortune.
I go back on Friday a.m. before we go to the temple. I am so happy. So is Dad. This is the same Dr. who helped Jim with his back. The best news is that he took an x-ray (he can do that at his center) and found that I have no arthritis, I thought that I might because of the old injury. In addition, he can help correct the scoliosis that I have. All of the vertebrae have healed and so have the disks. My bones look good.
So if I am rid of the pain forever, it will be the best day of my life. Even if I am not, it is better to go to him from time to time than to go get an epidural.

My daughter comes and puts in on each morning. It is electroinds. It helps some, but it doesn't take the pain completely away. I have had the epideral injections which did nothing for me.
I took Randy into see Dr Ritchie Tuesday. Usually we go into Payson, but I couldn't get his appointment in Payson so we had to go into Orem. I told the receptionist that I liked the office in Payson better, which they are there only on Wed., and she said she did too and that it was closer for her. I asked her where she lived and she said Nephi. I asked her if she knew you and she said that Leonard was one of her teachers when she was in school, and that they lived just around the corner from you unti they moved into their new home. I don't know her name, but she is a cute girl and very friendly. Love
Ella Dean
