Dr. Steven Naide is a most caring, highly intelligent orthopedic surgeon. After dragging my very painful left knee around, causing me to dramatically alter my activity level, and after seeing several area orthopedists, i finally saw Dr. Gelb who recommended a hip MRI. I was puzzled since the majority of my pain emanated from my knee. I had the MRI and with the results in hand Dr. Gelb suggested a consultation with his colleague and hip specialist, Dr. Naide. After my exam and his review of my MRI he prescribed an interarticular steroid injection for my hip. I had the procedure yesterday. Within minutes all my pain was suspended due to the numbing portion of the cocktail received. It has now been 18 hours and while the numbing agent is gone the medicine portion of the cocktail is holding steady and for the first time in months I can walk without a limp or change in gait.
Dr. Naide had a high level of confidence that the injection would work and he was right. Thanks to caring and highly intelligent doctors, Gelb and Naide, i can resume activities that I love including aerobic exercising and tennis.
