[QUOTE=Rrae;1074456][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]I'm wondering if your Dr is wanting to do Spinal DE-compression on you? If so, that's what my Dr has suggested. I know that most chiropractors will do non-surgical decompression, but maybe your Dr is wanting to go in with a needle to release pressure within your compressed discs. ?
My Dr is from another country and hard to understand, so I'm having to do my own research on what he's suggesting to me.
Do you have a spinal cord stimulator? If so, that may pose a concern as to whether this could mess with your electrode leads.

I agree - go to the apt and make sure they speak clearly of their intent and side effects, etc.

let us know what happens!

Hello Rae,

What does a spinal cord stimulator do?
Does it relieve the pain or does it stimulate the cord to do its job, what ever that may be?
