Hi

i was injured while serving in the british army, sustaining damage to my lower back and due to complications my left leg has been left with reduced feeling and gives way without warning. I require 2 elbow style crutches to help me walk.
I have now been medically discharged and get zero support from the military anymore.

I am looking at having a trial of the SCS as i have chronic lower back pain but i am now questioning if it will be suitable for me.
I do get peripheral pain in my legs but the main pain is in my back.

I would love to get by without medication as i feel like a junky with the amount of medication i am on, but i cannot function without pain relief as it is so debilitating.

I hope someone could offer me some pearls of wisdom or even just thier experiences with an implant.

Please feel free to comment or ask me anything you want, maybe my experiences over the last 7 years will be able to help you in some way.

Chris
