Following test the doctor found that my Leads had moved and were causing me more issues. He stated my epidural space has to much room and sent me to a neurosurgeon to schedule the Leads to be removed and for Paddle Leads to be put in. I have multiple orthopedic surgical needs (right foot & knee and left knee) that all the doctors say cannot be repaired due to the RSD. I've been bound to a wheelchair for over a year and a half. I have high hopes of the Paddle Leads masking some of my pain. I do not like taking medications and requested my doctor to take me off of morphine, Methadone and dilaudid. I still have to take the Lyrica and fentanyl. Has anyone recently had Paddle Leads put in and how are you doing with them? Thanks.
