Hello everyone, I have had many lower back surgeries and last year had a c4-c7 fusion, degenerative disc disease has no bounderies. Have been on fentanyl patch which works great for the pain, but basically puts a stop to my gi tract. I stopped the patch in mid May to get the bowels back in working order, but now in pain from neck to lower back with right leg radiculopathy from scar tissue. Just saw new pain md who told me about the cervical scs, but i left wondering how I can get some pain relief from neck and back issues, and then I found this site and fionabs emails. Would love more info from anyone who has had 2 and your stories- good or bad. thanks to all!
