Unfortunately, no treatment provided long-term relief, and over time, her discomfort only worsened. She started developing pain in other areas of her back, and daily living became a struggle.Wendy had always lived a very active lifestyle, and it was discouraging to give up activities she loved due to her excruciating pain.

But the news she got was not what she expected.
