Hi, I'm Albert
I had my neck broken and some spinal cord damage. They fused me from C2 to C3, then C3 to C6, then C7 to T1. Then they went between C7 and T1 and drilled the bone opened to make space for a Nerve that has been crushed fo over a year. I'm having server pain in the Neck, Right Arm and right hand even with medications. The pain shots from my neck down my right arm into my right hand. I have no feeling in the ring and pinky on my right hand, you can poke them with a needle and I can't feel the pain. I'm on Oxycotin 40mg 3x a day, Perocet 10mg 2x a day, and Naprelan 500mg 2x a day. My Doctor is reccomending that I get a Stiumulator installed into my neck. He states that they place wires into my neck and spine. He said it would send shock waves into the neck and spine threw the Stimulator and this will decrease my pain, hopefuly. Has anyone had this procedure done? Does this device really work? What are the side effects if any? I'm very Nervous about this procedures. This will be the 5th Surgery for this neck. Please if you have any advise or suugestions Please send me your response. Albert
