Sydney Martin seriously injured his back while responding to Ground Zero onNow, doctors at NYU Langone have diagnosed Martin with what's called"scar dancing syndrome." It's believed to be caused by an irritation of the nerves around the surgical scar.
"I felt like I was working on my back 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it restricted my breathing because I was in spasms," Martin said. Martin now receives Botox injections deep into his back muscles, stopping the spasms. He hopes his story will help others get the help they need.
