I had Intrathecal and IV RPA 6 months ago and I am back to loving life and doing things I missed doing, like squats, running, and gardening. I have had chronic neck pain since age 15 and low back pain the last 3 years, both which can be chalked up to Arthritis. I have tried to manage both with massage, topical creams, Ibuprofen, stretching, PT, and a heating pad, but the low back pain stopped responding to conventional methods and I didn’t know what to do. I am still young at age 54, empty nester, health care provider, gym rat, and attempting to reinvent myself and enjoy my husband of 34 years, but my body is rebelling. Nicole, RN & Dr. Hunt explained in depth the benefits of RPA and I said, “Lets go for it, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain!” Well, I’m glad I took the chance, cause I am reaping the benefits now. 1 week after the injection I had no pain and Euphoria. The second week I had increased pain, so Dr. Hunt gave me a Peptide push patch, which helped a lot, until the RPA could take effect. Just like they explained to me, at the 6 week mark I started to see less pain and mobility improvement. They both explained that the RPA could take 6 months to see the full effect. Well, I can say that they were right. I am 6 months out with no pain. I am back in the gym running, doing squats and I am gardening. I haven’t felt this good since I was 40. It was definitely worth investing in my own health and I am a true believer of RPA and the future of this company.

Thank you Dr Hunt and Nicole! RPA has been life changing for me. I have had chronic back and neck pain for the past 11 years and after RPA my pain was a 0!! Everything they said to expect happened. I had lots of energy the first couple of days and I have not had to take any pain medicine since. I had it done intrathecal and IV. Dr Hunt is amazing, so caring and gentle hands!! He explained everything in detail and made me feel so at ease. I did not feel a thing! And besides having 0 pain, I have stopped using meds to help me sleep at night and I’ve slept through the night for the first time in years and every night since!! That was a bonus!

My husband had RPA 2 months ago. Being a long time competitive tennis player he has noticed a significant difference in his endurance and recovery time. His soreness and aches and pains have decreased. Before RPA he had stopped playing due to right forearm pain and sore knees that would become inflamed after playing. After hard games he would be wiped out and sore. All is much better now and he’s enjoying playing again. Another significant change is being able to play his guitar again, which he had to give up 10 years ago due to trigger finger in his middle finger that would lock up almost immediately when he would start playing. He can now play without a problem. Overall RPA has been life changing for him.
