My symptoms were strange to me because I didn’t really have back pain. My pain started as a slight ache in my calf and a few days later the pain increased. It was a nagging pain that kept me from sleeping. I saw a chiropractor who ordered an MRI and when the results came back she recommended that I see a neurosurgeon. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Francis. He was able to see me within 10 days where the other doctor couldn’t see me for 6 weeks! I am now back at work pain-free as a freight truck driver for UPS.
