Unfortunately they haven't found a way to rebuild /replace the whole spine yet.
Have they mentioned trying a TENS, or possibly a SCS trial?
SCS is a implanted & stronger version of a electronic pain signal blocker.
WE have a SCS sub forum here-
There are also implanted pain pumps that can deliver the meds right to the spinal fluid.
My dad might be looking into these options at some point. |
Hello, and thank you for the SCS information I've read about people using this term but I've never really look into it, It's a great thought. The Tens unit I've tried during physical therapy, I had a bad reaction to it, I will have terrible head aches and severe neck pain, I wouldn't be able to turn my neck from side to side for two til three days. So after two times the Therapist decided not to use it anymore.
