My daughter had the surgery and she had a broken piece of metal lodge in her spine. Now she is in constant pain with no recourse
If you were a patient with; Peripheral Neuropathy from Chemotherapy, Back surgery gone wrong with severe central lower back pain with left back sciatica all the way down left leg. Which SCS brand would you use?
I'm ADHD and very hard to stay still so advice to get the implant.
If you had spinal fusion could you still get the spinal stimulator because I am still in pain
An interventional pain Anestelogist said to me that these stimulators have a low success rate for dealing with the spine pain based on patient feedback. I would probably seek out someone like Jeffery Cantor in Ft Lauderdale who uses ultrasonic bone cutting to clean out bone impinged areas around the nerves if that is all that is needed.
