Kimberly BonattiHostYou're listening to American Medicine Today, presented by the Benati Spine Institute, featuring internationally acclaimed inventor of the Benati spine procedures, Alfred Benati, MD.
Once again, your host, Kimberly Bermel Benati, and co-host, Ethan Uecker.

So we are 12 years into programming and we talk to patients each and every week about their experience at the Bonatti Spine Institute.

A vast number of patients have been told that nothing can be done or they're basically going to exchange one pain for another and have to undergo hard refusion surgery.

Now, it's one thing for me to talk about it, but it's another when you hear directly from the patient themselves.

It is my pleasure to introduce to the program Kelly Nelson from Knoxville, Tennessee.

So Kelly, why don't you tell us how you came to be in pain? And I believe that you have been to us multiple times throughout the years.
