  • Joyce decided to seek another opinion and changed her primary care physician to NSMC’s James Brown, M.D. He referred her for an MRI, which revealed that she had degenerative changes in her spine and bulging of the discs—the cushions between the vertebrae—and these changes were interfering with nerve function and causing pain. NSMC neurosurgeon and spine specialist, Terence Doorly, M.D., evaluated Joyce and decided the first course of action should be a comprehensive non-surgical approach. “I wanted to try to manage her pain with a variety of exercises, electrical nerve stimulation, medications and injections rather than surgery which is painful and has a long recovery time,” said Dr. Doorly. NSMC pain management specialists, Minesh Patel, M.D., and Edouard Vaynberg, M.D., injected a combination of anesthetic numbing agents and anti-inflammatory drugs into different locations in her spine to pinpoint the source of the pain. For now, Joyce is living a less painful life than she was a few years ago. “NSMC’s pain program has given me my life back,” said Joyce. “My care plan was seamless between Dr. Doorly, my physiatrist and the pain specialists.
