Hi everyone, hope you all had a great New Year. I have been sick with the flu really bad so we did not get to do anything. This week (7th) is my post op appointment and I will finally get my stim back on and I am nervous and excited about it. Anyway, this is going to sound weird but I am noticing really weird sensations/feelings in my back. When I lean back it feels like I am laying against something solid, and this is where my laminectomy incision is. I also am still having spasms and pressure but this feeling is really weird. I am also having really bad trouble sleeping at night because my legs hurt so bad (I think its because of no stimulation) and my incisions sometimes burn. I am about to enter week 6 so hopefully this stuff is normal. I was hurting really bad because a couple days ago I kept throwing up (due to flu) and I know that was not good on my back

Oh I did wonder if something was the matter. I too hope you are ok with your stim after all the throwing up.
We need some pics of you and your little baby. How is she settling in? |

I don't know what to think, my roommate is suppose to get a pump in February. I was going to let him read here, but now I'm second guessing. Will a pump help , I wonder about the weird feelings and sensations and other things I read. Well let me think it over before I let him read the posts.

![]() Is your roommate going to be getting the pain pump or the spinal cord stimulator? Here's a great link I pulled from the 'stickies'. It's very informative. http://www.nationalpainfoundation.or...e-technologies I know it seems a bit 'scary' to read some of these posts, but hopefully we can help explain the different types of pain issues going on I'll be totally honest in saying that I was completely creeped out when first presented with the option of the SCS......but after so many years of dealing with chronic level 8 pain and no answers in sight, it was without a doubt the way to go. It has been a 'lifesaver' for quite a few, especially having a pretty high success rate in covering neuropathy/RSD burning type of pain in the limbs. The best part is, the candidates for these units do a 'trial run'....like a 'test drive' to see if it is something they want to pursue. Not all are success stories of course, and they do require maintenance....but several folks here will swear by them.....others will 'swear' FROM them. ![]() That's just it - a very individualized therapy and no two people can really tell the same tale. Depends on if there are other health issues going on as well. Has your roommate had the temporary trial procedure done yet? Just ask questions! He is fortunate to have you looking out for him the way you are doing. That is fantastic. Rae ![]() |
