Hi,
My name is Sherri and I live in Brampton, ON, Canada. I was diagnosed in March 2010 with a rare spine disease called Tarlov Cyst Disease. I have three cervical cysts and (Had) one large Sacral Meningeal Cyst.
I had Surgery July, 2011 in Cyprus through AIMIS Spine, a Doctors Without Borders Spine Program that specializes in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. Dr. Frank Feigenbaum from Kansas City MO, US did my surgery while he was on rounds at AIMIS Spine.
Why did I choose AIMIS Spine instead of Dr. Feigenbaums Hospital? With AIMIS Spine, pretty much everything is included.... and I was able to heal at a five star resort for almost 3 weeks. I was literally babied from the night I was picked up at the Airport, until I was dropped off again at the Airport to return home.
If you have Tarlov Cysts or any other Spine problems that can't be treated at home, then go to the AIMISspine website, and upload your MRI CD with their free uploader and you will be contacted with a free Spine Surgeon Consult.
If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to contact me anytime... just respond to this message and I'll get back to you...
I live with Chronic Back Pain, and I know how it feels for Doctors to tell you there's nothing they can do, while we suffer with pain that limits our lives in every way, every day..... I didn't want to take no for an answer, and I was thrilled when I found out I didn't have too!
When I was at AIMIS I couldn't believe the things they can do to help spine patients get their lives back! I truly was blown away, and considering I still need one more Tarlov Cyst Treated, and several Spinal Column problems such as, Stenosis, DDD, Disc Herniations and Bulges, all treatments I can't get here..., but I can get at AIMIS. When the time comes, that's where I'm going.... back to AIMIS Spine, and I plan on staying until I can come home knowing everything's been done, that can be done, to help me get my life back.
I won't take no for an answer....... and I hope you don't either....
Who paid for your surgery?
