Born without hands: Innovative surgery stopped 20 years of pain

Yoav Rokach Penn (47) was born without hands and with short arms; after surgeries in childhood, he suffered for nearly 20 years from unbearable pain. Following dozens of treatments in Canada, where he has lived for over a decade, which didn't help and "insane doses" of morphine, he came to Israel for nerve pacemaker implant surgery. "If the pain was 9 out of 10, today it's 1," he says. Dr. Ruth Gur, director of the Center for Neurosurgical Pain Treatment at Sheba, is behind the success: "We had to reinvent the wheel with this surgery."
