Spine Experts at Doylestown Health
“It felt like I was being electrocuted with a hot, metal rod,” says Johnelle Whipple of Lambertville, New Jersey, recalling excruciating pain that left her barely able to walk or talk.
It was August 2017 when Johnelle, a healthcare marketing director and mother of two young children, first noticed pain down the back of her leg – a symptom known as sciatica. At first, the pain was mild, and she saw an orthopedic surgeon who prescribed a course of medication and injections, but her discomfort was not resolved.
Two weeks later, Johnelle’s condition deteriorated. Suddenly, she found herself in the grip of debilitating nerve pain. Her husband rushed her to Doylestown Health’s Emergency Department, where she was evaluated and admitted.
