Pain/Rehabilitation in Guui-dong, Seoul, Korea

Dr. Lee Eun-young was really kind during my consultation. Well, I went last year and again this year. Last year, I had been doing push-ups with bad form every day for two years, and I had severe pain in the front of my shoulder. I first went to an orthopedic specialist and went through physical therapy, but it didn’t help, so I visited the pain management clinic where I got my first treatment. They examined me and gave me a shot, and the next day more than half of my pain was gone, which was a huge relief. Since then, I've had about six more injections and that took care of the issue. This year, I hurt my upper shoulder and around my scapula while working out with dumbbells, and I ended up getting three shots, and once again, it worked really well. I’ve decided not to go to orthopedics anymore and will be coming here from now on.

One day, all of a sudden, I hurt my back really badly and the pain became overwhelming. It even started tingling in my legs, making it hard to walk, so I visited the pain management clinic I usually go to. The head doctor greeted me kindly and examined me thoroughly. Recognizing my condition, he suggested an injection treatment, which I readily agreed to. I was surprised that I could get an injection here without experiencing pain, which is something I usually dread. I thought, ‘If it hurts, I can just get the injection,’ lol. After also going through physical therapy, I felt a bit surprised that my legs felt numb, but the doctor reassured me it would be fine in 2-3 hours if I just rested at home. It was amazing that my back pain even started to lessen!

I had symptoms of athlete's foot, so I went to the hospital and got a prescription.
