The minor twinge that started after one of her regular weight-lifting sessions soon grew into intense shoulder pain with accompanying arm and wrist weakness that threatened to sidetrack her busy life. A disk replacement procedure offered Linda lasting relief and got her back in the gym.
Martha Williams checked off a goal on her bucket list in April 2019. She qualified for, and ran, in the Boston Marathon.

Imagine waking up one day with a strange sensation in your legs. It’s not pain exactly, but it’s not normal — you don’t quite feel like your brain is coordinating with your limbs. As time goes on, the strange feeling in your legs affects your balance and gait. You begin to worry and make an appointment with your primary care physician. They’re concerned — enough to refer you to a neurosurgeon.
