Palomar Spine & Pain: Tania Faruque, MD

Dec 10th, 2023

I have been suffering from bilateral knee pain for several years and the pain became significant enough that it was really affecting the quality of my life. I was able to find the Palomar Spine and Pain Institute and Dr. Faruque after doing some significant research and decided to undergo a series of knee injections over a six-week period of time. The injections, which were no more painful than getting a flu shot, were done under fluoroscopy to insure accurate injection placement. The whole procedure from check in to check out was at most 30 minutes. There were additionally no complications associated with the procedure. The injections resulted in a significant reduction in pain and swelling and allowed to me return to actives that I have not done in some time. I was eventually able to walk/hike up to six miles with limited discomfort. There is some rehab associated with the procedure which involves wearing a brace for a period of time following each injection and doing knee exercises and stretching several times a week. I will say that each case/person is different, and no one can guarantee the same results, but Dr. Faruque provides you an excellent chance for some improvement. The cost of the procedures was also covered by Medicare and there were no charges or co-payments that I was responsible for. Dr. Faruque and her staff were also very informative and professional at all times and made the whole process very easy.

I have been treated so well here. The front office is always helpful and calls me as well for appointment reminders. Dr. Faruque took the time to explain what is happening after review of all of the X-ray tests and MRIs. She has a good plan of attack for addressing the inflammation and joint pain that Im having. I highly recommend her office. They werent even mad when I was 15 minutes late because of traffic!!!
