Hi ALT, I am so glad to see you posting on new member introductions! What a profound ministry of sharing the blessing of care with folks! You are very active, and I am glad to find you here after missing you on the SCS subforum.

Hi Rhonda, CW and PG! There are answers to be learned from all perspectives of the approach to medicine and a possible alternative, if not as in my case substitute, to pill methodology to pain management. I have the Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stim and have used it 24/7 now for well over two years, achieving full low lumbar and leg pain management with its electronic signature.

Numerous manufacturers offer alternative devices, and some even are used to inject medications directly into the body via a pain pump mechanism, many of which are addressed on the SCS and Pain Pump sub forum under medications and treatments found here-

Come on over and check us out by clicking the link to the master web directory of our threads! You will meet cool folks from all over and many paths of life who similarly seek answers to important questions while also keeping the eyes alert for a sense of HOPE.

You might even find us engaging from time to time in a virtual party or BBQ at Pooh's ranch in Nowhere up there near Somewhere Out There. We do have fun, and even are known to LAUGH.

Hoping to see you on the threads,
