When Gerard Rousseau’s oncologist ran out of options for prescribing medication to control his pain, he turned to Dr. David Rosenblum, MD.
The oncologist was giving me my pain medicine in the beginning. But because of this opioid crisis, they changed the laws in New York state and I was in the position to where I had to come see a pain management doctor,” Gerard explains.
Due to a combination of chronic arthritis and a rare form of leukemia, Gerard suffers from pain 24/7. He and his wife credit Dr. Rosenblum’s ultrasound-guided injections to his back, shoulder, and hip for being able to work at his plumbing and drain cleaning business.
We come once a week for the series of three injections,” says Gerard’s wife Elena Russo. “I get to see what goes on on the screen because I’m sitting there, where doctor is looking, so I see. The equipment here, this procedure is phenomenal. He gets to see the muscles, the nerves, every joint. He knows the precision of where to put the needle in. The voice activation is amazing. Modern technology, I get to enjoy it.”
