Life Changing Pain Relief After 13 Doctors Told Me It Was Just Stress.
I was experiencing slight back pain in 2013 in my lower back, and they said it was just SI joint dysfunction and to go to physical therapy. Then it got worse, and I couldn’t feel my legs. I had slight tears in my hips and had three hip surgeries because they told me that’s where the pain was coming from but the pain continued and I wasn't able to squat down more than 3 inches because my lower back felt like there was something in there guarding the movement even with the MRI being totally normal. Then in 2023, I could barely move and I went and met with 13 different doctors, six surgeons, and I finally did an ultrasound on top of the MRI. They said they were just small lipomas and did not cause pain, but when I pressed on them, it would cause excruciating neuropathy through my legs, and I couldn’t feel my toes.
So I researched doctor after doctor and finally saw the reviews for Dr. Moelleken. He actually listened to me and said that he would do the surgery, even though the lipomas were small according to the ultrasound. Once he got in there, they were huge and were rare fibroid lipomas. Almost instantaneously, I felt 90% better. The left side is almost 100% complete, and I am 10 weeks post-op. The right side still has a little bit of pain, but that’s just because they had been in there since 2013. My quality of life has increased substantially, and I cannot thank not only the doctor but also his staff, who got me in immediately, walked me through the process, got me an estimate, scheduled my surgery date, assisted with my pre-op bloodwork, and any testing that I needed. Special shout out to Melissa Rodas who responded so quickly for any questions that I had! She was Incredible I cannot thank her enough. This was the best experience of my life, and I recommend anyone who has been told that they aren’t experiencing pain or has any kind of issue that could be considered cosmetic, like a lipoma, to meet with Dr. Moelleken.
