I have had Barre-Lieou Syndrome symptoms since February 1989 due to an upper spinal cervical injury. After having been seen by several neurologists, Dr. Kramer was the first MD to accurately give a viable explanation.
I did a series of Prolotherapy injections, which helped provide stability by strengthening the spinal ligaments, thus lessening the Syndrome symptoms. In the middle of the series we did a couple injections into my right elbow. Playing softball during the mid 80’s I had injured my right elbow throwing too hard. I was never able to do weight lifting such as curling with more than 10 or 15 pounds as it always exacerbated the pain in my elbow. Just one set of these injections decreased the pain in my elbow over 50%…I’m now able to do moderate-weighted curls with little to no pain.
I would definitely recommend working with Dr. Kramer while entrusting his professional opinion on the course of action to pursue. He prescribes proper modalities, drug prescriptions when needed, and personal encouragement.
