Spinal Cord Stimulator for burning pain
Hi there,
Was wondering if anyone here has had a spinal cord stimulator implanted. I have severe burning neuropathy in my legs and feet. I also suffer from thermal allodynia (temperature changes cause pain) and tactile allodynia (pain from clothing, bedsheets). The cause of my neuropathy is lyme disease. My pain levels average between 6-8. I am unable to tolerate any clothing on my legs at all. Does anyone out there have similar symptoms and get relief from a stimulator?? I have tried many drugs for this condition including antidepressants, anticonvulsants, narcotic pain meds, topical medications, etc. While some drugs have offered relief, the side effects are unbearable. So now I am at a point where the stimulator seems like my only option. So, if you have a spinal cord stimulator, I would love to hear of any success you have had with it. Sorry, but I would rather not get messages from people who did not get relief or any horror stories. I am looking for some encouragement as I feel very hopeless. Thanks for reading :) |
