I have been a patient at Rio Grande pain team in Weslaco going on two and a half years. Within that time my pain level has dropped from a solid eight and a half to a 6 1/2 to 7 out of 10 on a rating scale. I wasn't able leave the house or sit for no longer than 45 minutes walk for no longer than 45 minutes. Too getting a second chance dr. slavin encouraged me to being able to go to therapy cut down on 2 very strong pain killers to one pain killers. I was also able to go to school get a degree to find another type of job that has nothing to do with field labor driving semi trucks etc. I want to thank Dr. Slavin and his amazing staff for helping me enjoy life with less pain and being able to be apart of my kids adventures
