Mar 31, 2021
I need Dr Shim again. I did ask him if he could make me taller while he was in there and he said if he could he would make himself taller. However I am in need of LS spine surgery now in reference to the foramen where the sciatic nerve goes through is being crushed by a bulging disc work needs to be done and on top of that I was involved in a motor vehicle accident rear ended 2 weeks ago I need help and I am being referred. Morgan and Morgan are involved and also the accident was being rear-ended at a stoplight at 55 mph. Please respond and let me know if this is possible as I again and being referred to several places and have gotten literally nowhere so far The pain is getting much worse.
