Hello neurostimulator
 

Hi all. New here. Stumbled across this page googling.

45 year old, f, Iowa. Have had 2 disectomies, spinal fusion L2 and 3.
Many many epidurals, facet blocks, burning nerves.. Some relief.. But pain always came back within 1 to 2 days later.

Been in pain for 3 years now. Exhausted mentally, physically.

Getting the stimulator trial done July 31. Scared to death.. But hopeful this helps.
I know it will not take the pain totally away.. But I just want to be able to do things with my kids again. All boys, 12 year old and 10 year old twins.

Wish me luck
Share your experiences.
Having a hard time reading site and figuring everything out on phone.. But.. Not giving up just yet. :)

Thanks in advance

Linda

All boys
 

Dear Linda

Have faith and believe it will work. The power of positive belief I'm told makes a considerable difference. You have to believe it will work, the stimulator doesn't take away all the pain, but it does help reduce it and that means you can cut back on meds making life more tolerable. Good luck:hug:
