Nurse Sarah Burns describes what she would tell a woman who has back pain and is afraid to seek treatment.
Sarah:
When I talk to women about back pain that they have had for many, many years I tell them that we have some of the best surgeons in the world here and also some of the best nurses to take care of them, to help them through the process, that they are going to feel so much better after the surgery and if they have any worries, concerns at all just to let us know. They can have their families here with them to help them through it and they are at the best place that they could be if they want to feel better and have a better quality of life.
