After months of debilitating pain, I finally found hope through the PTP (Prone Transpsoas) surgery performed by Dr. Fumich. What began as lower back discomfort quickly progressed into something far more severe. The pain in my back progressed down my leg, affecting my mobility and strength. I struggled, not being able to walk for more than 5 to 10 minutes, endless nights without sleep, and suffering from a left foot drop. I was unable to work. The pain was affecting every part of my life. Daily tasks felt impossible, and I began to lose faith that I would ever feel normal or function in life again. Dr. Fumich introduced me to the PTP surgery, and I knew this was the best chance and quickest recovery at getting my life back to normal again. After surgery, I experienced immediate relief of the constant shooting pain. Even more amazing was the left foot drop completely resolved. I could use my foot again with full control. I was able to stand and walk that same day.
Recovery was minimal. I had three small incisions: two on my back and one on my side. I was back to work in five weeks. The biggest blessing was that I was able to resume to my normal life. I was pain-free and mobile. I’m deeply grateful for Dr. Fumich and his team that made this possible. The PTP surgery gave me my life back. I’m walking, working, and living again without fear. I didn’t have to go out of town to a big city to have this procedure performed. This was available to me at IOS in Lima, my local community. I truly believe this advantage technique is life-changing for anyone suffering from spinal issues similar to mine. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this surgery.
Thank you so much, Dr. Fumich
