Neurology/Neurosurgery in Yeoseo-dong, Jeonnam-Gwangju, Korea

Dr. Lee Seung-cheol explains everything calmly and really well, and I always feel good when I come to the clinic. The nurses and office manager are all very kind, too. I first visited because of trigger finger syndrome in my right hand. My right hand is completely better now, but my left hand is the problem. They told me that while taking the medication and wearing a brace, I should avoid using my hand as much as possible, but there’s no way I can not use my hand. Maybe it’s because I used my left hand a lot when my right hand was hurting... I can’t even tie my hair with my left hand, and it’s hard to hold my dog. My hand feels weak, so it’s difficult to lift things. My left wrist hurts because of my thumb, and I can’t rotate my wrist. The doctor said it’s because of inflammation and that I need to avoid using my hand as much as possible so it can heal quickly.

I was hospitalized for 12 days due to pain in my back and right knee, and then I was discharged. All the staff were extremely kind. After breakfast at eight in the morning, I would get a call around ten to come in for physical therapy, and I'd go to the third floor's patient-only physical therapy room for an hour-long session before having lunch at noon. They put three IV drips in my arm, and I had to lie down for two hours while receiving them, after which I headed back to the physical therapy room for the afternoon sessions. I had about an hour of traction therapy, electrical therapy, and heating treatment. After all that, I had dinner at five. Eating dinner so early often left me hungry at night. Thank you to Dr. Shin Byeong-soo and all the staff! ^^

I went in to get a prescription for dementia prevention medication, and they explained everything so kindly.
