Default Hello All..New Member Here!

Hi everyone. My name is Ashley and I am definitely new to all of this but I could really use some advice from ppl outside of my family & friends. Ppl that have gone threw what I am about to go threw. Let me start off by saying I'm 24 yrs old and in a few weeks ill be trying out the SCS trial Nov 9. I'm scared but really ready to hopefully get some relief from my pain.

In 2009 I fell and broke a disc in my back. Went threw the shots, PT, injections, MRI, and finally back surgery (lumbar fusion). Well that didn't work. Just more issues arose. Foot drop (left leg), nerve damage, unsuccessful back surgery...now I've gone threw nerve conduction tests, more PT, even more depression (haven't work since 2009), x-rays, and now the SCS.

I understand everyone's outcome is different in these situations. I like to research what I'm about to go through but doing research I've made myself even more scared. I don't need more problems on top of what I already have I'M ONLY 24!

So please anyone can give me advice, their experience with SCS/Chronic Pain I would love it!

Thanks Everyone!
Ashley
