Today Ema García is a joyful woman who can move freely and live a normal life. Anybody who knows her today is impressed to know she used to be a different woman because of back pain. She was an irritable woman who cannot walk or stand for a long time without having strong pain. Her life was transformed with a platelet-rich plasma treatment at Novastem.
Some years ago Ema was an active and joyful woman who lived a normal life with her family and friends. She liked to travel and listen to her favorite music. She likes to be an independent woman who drives to his destinations and does their stuff without asking for help. Everything was normal in her life, until one day she was driving to the mall, but the unexpected happened, she suffered a horrible car accident. She does not remember everything, but people mentioned that Ema was lying unconscious on the road.
She woke up at the hospital with many questions on her head. She wanted to get up but felt a strong pain, so a nurse approached and told her to be quiet since she can make things worse if she force his body. She explained that she had polytrauma, a consequence of a car accident. The injuries do not put his life in danger, but she has some small bone fractures, the worst fracture was on his back. Ema felt a strong pain in his back like no other pain she ever felt before, that night she fell asleep with many emotions, maybe his life will never go back to normal.
Ema’s recovery was good, after many days the medical staff sends her home to continue his rehabilitation, since no injury compromise his life Ema has a good prognosis, the pain in his body will diminish over time and she will continue his normal life, Ema was happy to be at home, his family taken care of her, Ema felt that there’s still hope for her.
After some weeks Ema was able to slowly walk and take care of herself, everybody was happy to see she was recovering faster and faster but Ema was worried, there was a pain in his back that persists and do not vanish like the others, this pain was different, the pain on his back do not let her be on a fixed position for a long time, and she can’t walk for much time, she visits the doctor to talk about his condition and the doctor asked for some clinical studies to do a proper diagnosis.
After a careful evaluation, the doctor said that as a consequence of the car accident, Ema has a very small fracture on his spine and the shock she received on his back caused damage to a nearby nerve, this damaged nerve on the spine caused the back pain on Ema, unfortunately, there are not much treatment options on scenarios like this, possibly physical therapy with pain relievers could help Ema to cope with pain, but it is hard to say that the pain will go away, sometimes this kind of pain remains for a lifetime. Ema was shocked.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor or miss work, and it is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Back pain can range from a muscle aching to a shooting, burning, or stabbing sensation. In addition, the pain may radiate down your leg or worsen with bending, twisting, lifting, standing, or walking. (1). Depending on the origin and severity of back pain, the pain could be small or incapacitating, sometimes it gets better with a mix of traditional treatments, such as physical rehabilitation, taking anti-inflammatory painkillers, hot and cold compresses or light exercise and stretches, all these could help, but there are occasions when back pain just does not improve, even could get worse over time and prevent patients from doing daily routine tasks. In these patients, traditional treatments are limited to help patients to cope with symptoms and help patients to coexist with the pain.
Life without pain is possible
Ema was one of the rare back pain patients where the pain just does not improve, she felt lost, doctors do not provide many options, back pain make Ema a different person, the pain was stressful and this changed his mood, she even scream to people without deserving, she felt that his condition limited her life and does not know what to do.
Time passed but she never gave up. She visited all people who could help her with his back pain, including physiotherapists, doctors, and even a shaman but his research for relief was not successful. Hope began to vanish in her eyes.
“I was spending a lot of money looking for somebody who could help me, my friends say to me that I should resign to live with the back pain, but I refuse. I think money should be spent on our wellbeing, it should be spent on improving our life, that is why I visited many doctors, I want to heal, I do not give up” Ema García
