Liz's Prenuvo story

Liz, a former water polo athlete, embarked on a journey towards proactive health, opting for a Prenuvo scan to uncover insights into the state of her musculoskeletal system following 15 years of dedicated water polo training and competition. While she was well aware that her body had taken a toll from such a physically demanding sport, Liz was driven by her curiosity to gauge the extent of the wear and tear that she had accumulated throughout her athletic career. 

Much to her relief, the results of the scan were not as dire as she had feared. The scan confirmed several injuries she had sustained throughout her years in water polo, including torn ligaments such as her MCL, PCL, and patellar tendon in her knees, a consequence of the repeated high-stress movements required in the sport. Additionally, the scan revealed significant arthritis in her hips, leaving Liz in awe of the profound impact her past athletic feats had affected her health later in life. 

While it is likely that Liz may need a hip replacement in the future, her physician reassured her that it is not an immediate concern right now. She has been grappling with hip discomfort for over a decade, and while she's sensed that it's gradually worsened, distinguishing the difference over the past year is less obvious than the stark contrast from a decade ago. For Liz, the Prenuvo scan has become a vital tool in providing her with visual evidence of her body's degenerative changes over time. Which, when the time comes, will help her advocate for the hip replacement that she might ultimately require. 

Overall, the scan results showed that her musculoskeletal issues were mild to moderate, confirming what she already knew. But the Prenuvo scan also offered her the peace of mind that she didn't have to confront any immediate serious health concerns. Liz found the Prenuvo experience valuable and intends to continue getting scans to proactively monitor the health of her joints, bones, and the rest of her health. Thus, ensuring she can take the necessary steps to maintain her well-being and embrace life’s challenges with renewed vitality.
