Shoulder Pain Causes, Conditions and Treatments
I was saved from rotator cuff surgery. Before surgery, I could not lift my left arm. Dr. DiFelice sent me to a neurologist who immediately sent me to Dr. Girardi where I had emergency spinal fusion (C4, C5, C6 & C7). I would have ended up in a wheelchair if I had not been properly diagnosed. I am very thankful for all my doctors and nurses and staff at HSS.
