I didn't feel any pain
When I came in I was in pain on my lower back. When he gave me the shot I felt better. I didn't feel any pain. Even though I was nervous and scared at first, I would do it again because it helped so much.

Injections were worth the relief
The injections immediately changed my pain level and mobility. The injections were worth the relief.

Neck and back pain is now completely gone
Neck pain was a 10 now it's a 0. Lower back pain was a 10 now it's a 0. I don't experience headaches any more or leg pain. Thank you.

The relief from my back pain was rather instant, and the relief from back pain still exists
Prior to my first visit w/ Dr. P, I was having constant neck/back pain but primarily lower back pain. After seeing the doctor, and him asking the right questions, the plan for treatment was determined to be an injection. The injection was not painful at all like I thought it would be, the procedure was very quick. The relief from my back pain was rather instant. It has been 2 months, and the relief from back pain still exists. Feeling much better than I did 2 months ago.

When I sat up I noticed that my soreness and pain had all but disappeared going from a pain scale of 7-8 to practically 0.
When I arrived for my appointment, I was experiencing pain and soreness in my lower back. I was a bit apprehensive when the procedure was explained, however during the procedure I was made comfortable and the procedure itself was relatively quick and pain free. When I sat up I noticed that my soreness and pain had all but disappeared going from a pain scale of 7-8 to practically 0. Something I didn't think was possible, but my back feels great. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I no longer have pain in my lower back
I no longer have pain in my lower back. Before the pain was so bad I could not sleep. Movement was very hard. Bending over was a pain, my neck area was also bad but now I can feel it going away. I can turn my head the way I want to and not the way the pain wants me to move.

I have "0" (zero) pain :)
I came not knowing exactly what to expect. Dr. Puppala was very friendly, and eased my anxiousness by cracking a few jokes. He described the procedure, and I came to the conclusion that we should proceed. I came into the Doctors office with a pain rating of about 3-4 (with taking pain medications). After the near painless procedure, I have "0" (zero) pain :) Thank you!

Now I'm not feeling any pain
Before I had this injection my life was hard. I was losing a lot of sleep and it was hard to watch TV because of pain in my neck and back. Now I'm not feeling any pain, I feel good.

The shot worked and I feel no pain
Before I came in this weekend I was nervous about the shot but it's not that bad. The shot worked and I feel no pain. My mom was happy with the weekend hours, and that the doctor let her come in the room and watch him do the procedure. My pain was a 10 before, now it's a 1 or a 2. I didn't feel nothing as much as I did when I came in.

Epidural procedure was painless and effective
Before the procedure there was a constant pain in my left shoulder, arm, neck. Before the procedure there was a quick moment that felt like a sharp sting when the numbing medicine for my skin was done. The injection itself did not hurt but it did seem to touch the source of where the pain was coming from - it's hard to describe. The epidural procedure was painless. Afterwards I felt no pain in my left arm and shoulder. My initial pain was constant and severe. Right now it's probably only a 1 out of 10 if I turn my head to the left. The procedure has helped me to return to my normal duties.

Afterward my pain was a 0 - thanks!
When I came in I did not know what to expect. I was extremely nervous when I first heard about the procedure. During the procedure though I was made very comfortable and it all went well. Afterward my pain was a 0 - thanks!

All my back pain is gone
Today I came in with strong back pain all over. It's been affecting me because I have to stand up at work. So I was nervous at first about the injection to do it, but now I feel completely better. All my back pain is gone.

After the injection my pain level decreased significantly
I was experiencing extreme pain down my right leg. I was very nervous at the sound of an injection but after the injection my pain level decreased significantly. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Pain is no longer a problem
Before treatment my lower back pain was a seven (7); however once the steroid injection kicked in, my pain is no longer a problem. I am very satisfied and happy to be in no pain

Pain gone after shot
I was unable to turn my head as far as I can after the shot. My pain was 8 before, now it's 0 after. Thank you

Pain in neck went from a 9/10 to 1/10, and I can close my right hand again for the first time in months
Coming in, the right side of my neck had sharp shooting pain radiating into my shoulder. I could hardly close my right hand into a fist. Now I feel the pain going away in my neck and shoulder and right hand. I can close my right hand again for the first time in months. This epidural was a lot easier, quicker, and less pain than my epidural years ago at the VA. My pain in my neck went from a 9/10 to 1/10, thanks doc.

This is wonderful!!!
My neck was in a lot of pain, they did x-rays and MRI at another clinic. They found that I had a slipped disk in my neck. I had trouble sleeping because of the pain, my left arm was going numb and tingly. I was referred to Dr. Puppala for my pain. I was nervous about a needle being stuck into my neck, but his staff was very courteous and very professional. It did not hurt as bad as I thought it would. He gave me numbing medication and I did not feel any pain. My neck pain was about 9 when I arrived. After the injection the pain was gone. This is wonderful!!!

I am able to do more and feel better - thank you
I am able to do things such as household chores as well as go out and walk more than I did before I received my injection. I am doing well with my movements since my treatment. Thank you Dr. Puppala

My life has truly been restored from pain
I was in so much pain that was causing stress and a lot of frustration in my life. After being referred to Dr. Puppala and getting the epidural treatments I have been relieved of that pain almost completely. I'm able to continue on in my life doing the things I used to do before that caused all of the pain, stress, and frustration. My life has truly been restored from pain.

Pain is gone after my shoulder and knee injections
Before I came to this office I was in so much pain in my shoulder and my knee. After getting the injections I felt pretty much pain-free. Just wanted to say the shots do help.

Immediate relief after my procedure - thank you
In September 2016 I had fallen which in turn left me with a lot of pain. I went to the ER. I was given several pain meds but nothing really helped. It wasn't until I came to see Dr. Puppala that I had relief. I had many sleepless and tear-filled nights with numbness to my fingers and hand. Almost immediately after my epidural I had relief after the procedure. I only wish I had gotten this done sooner and felt this kind of relief for the past three months. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am in little to no pain
I came to Dr. P because I was in so much pain, but I didn't want surgery. He did injections to my lower spine and WOW! I am in little to no pain. The injections took almost no time at all and were much easier than I expected. Thank you, Dr. P and staff.

Stimulator has been a life changer!
Dr. "P" replaced my Medtronics stimulator to the Boston Scientific neurostimulator. I had almost immediate relief due to the smaller size. THen, since I don't have to lie still to recharge the inner battery I do not have that three hour discomfort. With the Boston Scientific I don't have to remind myself to recharge, so my stimulation continues uninterrupted. The smaller size has drastically reduced the irritation of the battery, almost totally. While nothing is perfect, the new BS stimulator has been a life-changer!

Complete relief with the stimulator
When I had my trial, it was unbeleivable the amount of relief I had. When they took the temporary leads out I hurt for 2 weeks. I could not find anywhere comfortable to sit or lie down. I did not realize my back hurt this badly until I had complete relief with the stimulator. I am so ready to experience that complete relief again.
07/26/2016
Very happy
My pain level was a 5 when I came in to have the injection. But, after the injection my pain level was 0. He did a wonderful job. I'm very happy with my injection. Thank you.

Less pain after stimulator
My stimulator helped with the pain in my legs. With less pain I stayed up and moving about the house more instead of having to lie down in bed most of the day. Therefore I also had a better appetite. Thank you.

Stimulator helped me sleep at night
The procedure gave me more relief when I was at work cause it felt like a massage while I was working. It also helped me sleep at night. It's not a complete replacement of my pain pills but together I beleive it will be a good combination.

Overwhelmed with satisfaction - I thank God for this remedy
I was in a head-on accident in 1/15. The car was totaled, the air bag deployed. I have been in relentless pain for two years. I have tried other injections, tractions, chiropractic adjustments, neurologist consultations and medications and finally in 6/16 I was referred to Dr. Puppala by my neurosurgeon as an effort to minimize my pain to be able to manage postponing surgery.
After my first injection, it was like a rebirth of my spirit and personality. The pain had overtaken my ability to manage my active lifestyle. I had forgotten what happiness, comfort and sleep felt like. My responsibilities to my children and ability to participate in their activities had severely diminished. I have been incredibly overwhelmed with satisfaction in being able to "live" without constant pain, take care of my children, my 91 yr old mother and run my business and ministry and support my employees.
I look forward to more treatments and the relief they will provide. I thank God for this remedy.

Pain free
I came in with a pain level of a 5-6 score. By the time Dr. Puppala said "we are done," my pain was already disappearing. Once I stood up I had a pain level of 0. Amazing!

Pain is completely gone!
I came in today hurting horribly, unable to manage or stop the pain. After seeing Dr. P my pain is completely gone.
