That's strange that you felt relief in the cervical area with the trial pump. But it's great -- and i hope you get the same results with the permanent implant!

Yes, you will get relief in both legs with the pump. That's what its best at, peripheral neuropathy. When I had the trial done, my right leg (which was the culprit) had NO PAIN at all! It was wonderful, as I'd been in such severe pain that often I'd vomit from it. So having no pain was such a treat! Drat the luck I couldn't have it tho. I PRAY this all works out for you. It will be just wonderful for you.

I'm not sure much can be done for progression of any of our spinal issues. I'm now deemed inoperable -- nothing can be done for me anymore. No surgery, no nothing, but medications.

God bless and keep us updated, okay? Hugs, Lee
