Margaret Ann Spagnuolo

My name is Margaret Ann and I am 61 years. I work in an elementary school and I am on my feet all day. I consider myself active - I love to walk and enjoy my daily walks. I went to Dr. Horine because I was having pain going down my right leg as well as pain in my lower back. When I would drive, my leg would go numb and cause discomfort. The same thing happened when I slept and sat down. Dr. Horine was hopeful that with physical therapy and an epidural injection, my pain would subside. I had a 10K planned in Disney World and I was so nervous that I wouldn’t be able to walk it. I received my injection about 8 days before the race and I completed the 10K in the middle of the pack! I was not towards the end. I am so grateful for Dr. Horine! Thank you for helping me accomplish my goal of finishing the walk in a great time, and for being able to sleep better and drive comfortably.
