Hi, I'm James. I've been here for about a week now and just found this thread. There's a lot to this site! Anyway, it was the troubles I'm having with my SCS implant that brought me here. I have Spondylolisthesis and Spondylosis in 2 areas. I am also waiting on confirmation of Peripheral Neuropathy. Long story short, car wreck in '03, year of recovery, current surgeon says my PT back then "did it wrong" and that my gait is "the worst I've ever seen", and that I am "walking wrong". How do you walk wrong - if I get from point A to point B with a cane or walker and I win! Anyway, the SCS is supposed to get me through therapy and re-train my muscle memory to teach me to walk, stand, sit, and even lay down properly. LOL After that, I have a surgery to fuse L-1 and 2 followed by recovery and rehab and then a surgery for, I think, C-1 and 2? Don't recall. Anyway, it's about a 5 year road to recovery and my surgeon says by then I will be better than I am now. He did admit that he can only fix my back, the nerve pain and occasional bouts with neuropathy will remain to be seen with a 50-50 shot of going away. Also, I have a 10 yr old with mild CP, dysgraphia, and autism. The public school failed us, and since I am stuck at home anyway, I home school him. I also have a 3yr old, a 2yr old, and a 1yr old. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND DOING THIS! Gratefully, I am in a position where I could afford to hire live-in help - I don't know what I would do without her! I can't pick up my children or play on the floor with them, which breaks my heart. Most of the time, I can't even change their diapers, dress, or bathe them either.
