For 7 months, since I had thoracic surgery for cancer, I’ve had constant abdominal pain. It was a relatively small spot but the burning and ache were constant. Three doctors told me it was nerve damage and there was no treatment. My trainer recommended seeing Dr. Close, because he specializes in muscles and nerves. He spent more than an hour with me, determined to find out the cause of the pain. Using his in-house ultrasound, he located a nerve trapped between my ribs and scar tissue. With a nearly painless injection, he freed the nerve from its trap and IMMEDIATELY my abdominal pain went away. Seven months of pain, and a constant reminder that I have cancer, were gone when I left his office. His determination to find the cause and cure for my pain was relentless, and I am in his debt. Pain free and ready to live my life! Thank you, thank you, Dr. Close!
