Good luck with the stimulator implant. Hope this offers you some relief. I want to personally thank you for all your help on here. I see you are approaching 500 posts so you take the time to reply to more then just me. It is very reassuring to talk to others that are in a similar situation. I can't speak to my girl or my family about this because they really have no clue as to how this feels. The constant nerve pain is so irritating and I try to not let the pain limit me too much. I am trying to be optimistic about the whole thing but have had lots of barriers put in my way over the past 7 years. Praying for the best. Just want you to know I appreciate the fact that you take your time to try to help out others.
