It seems to make a difference as to what area and of which nerves/ branches the damage, or where the pain signal jumps in . then try to intercept that signal and do a scramble on it before it gets back to the brain. So you will have a very high tech "cousin" device to my PNS (T-Rex) and boy is that name for my stim so fitting as I post to you .
I know that I and others would find anything you have to share helpful .
I got a question or 2 or 5 .
What state are you having this done?
Do you have someone to be there with you?
How long have you been offered this as an option, or how long have you been looking into motor cortex and finding info.. researching it?
Oh I wrote my friend Amy hopefully I can connect you both soon .

I want to know.. if you know when/ how you first got ATN .
what other things have you tried in the past??
okay I will stop with the questions but never stop with my prayers for you and your upcoming surgery .
Keep yourself healthy inside and out Legal and know I am sending good energy low pain and blessings to you and yours.
PEACE
BMW & T-Rex
