LIFE CHANGING PROCEDURE BY Dr. REIL!! I suffered for years with pain until I went to see specialist surgeon Doctor Christopher Riel on 5/31/24 to get a cortisone shot ๐ after first trying 3 mo. of rehab with some success. Dr. R. is very intelligent, and polite, and his team of nurses are knowledgeable, and make you feel part of the team. He was highly recommended by my family doctor John Kalata who I highly respect. I watched the monitor of the sonogram with the team to guide the needle to the precise spot of the pain. The Good Dr. noticed a big black area that he said was a buildup of fluid under my kneecap. Dr. R. began draining the fluid until the black spot disappeared and then he continued to proceed to inject that area with cortisone. I didn’t know if this procedure would work but I had a good feeling it would because he wasn’t guessing and he drained the fluid. As the good doctor was performing the procedure I was thinking to myself why didn’t the former sports medicine doctor use the same technique? He gave me one shot of preordered of more expensive cortisone every week for 3 weeks, but guessing where to inject the cortisone with negative results. UPDATE: On Monday 6/3/24 I could tie my shoes for the first time in 4 years by myself. I worked in the yard for 5 hours raking last year’s leaves and planting grass to my surprise i felt no pain afterward, which is a significant improvement. Usually, I would be in so much pain that I would have to ice down my knees and take 10 ibuprofen and be layed up for a couple of days. I’M Elated WITH THE RESULTS!! I don’t know how long it will last but it’s the first time in years I have been pain free. Thank you, Jesus ๐
