Susie, 65
A string of back surgeries, a broken femur and arthritis tormented Susie with constant pain. “All the surgeries and repairs made me a mess. I was miserable. I felt like I was on my way out, but I figured I hadn’t died yet, so I might as well live,” said Susie, 65.
An aversion to pain medications and a commitment to finding a better path to wellness led her to TailorCare, after a referral from her One Medical Seniors primary care physician. “I told my doctor that I didn’t want pain meds, I wanted to get stronger. That’s when she told me about TailorCare.”
TailorCare assessed Susie’s symptoms and goals and conducted a comprehensive intake that recommended physical therapy for her condition. TailorCare scheduled her first appointment and made sure she understood the treatment plan. She started seeing a physical therapist close to her house, and her pain quickly improved.
“My pain was a nine or ten most days. It was to the point that I couldn’t even walk across the room, but I knew in my heart that once I started moving, moving would get easier.”
Susie credits TailorCare and her physical therapists with getting her back on her feet. “I feel more sure-footed and less likely to fall.” Her pain has drastically decreased, too, and she has tools to work through the bad days. “I was prescribed 14 pain pills three months ago, and eight are left. I don’t need them.”
“I can’t say enough good things about TailorCare. I can move, I can do my exercises. I am feeling much better.”
