I had myelogram this morning. Since then, my thoracic stim has had stimulation in my stomach/rib area. I'm really worried. Last time it was this way, I had to have a revision. Any idea of why it might of changed? That lead should have been like cement!!


Help!!!

I feel a Charlie Brown moment coming on........

Why, oh why, do the folks who poke and prod fail to think of the little things which may go awry if more injectable is put here, more fluid there, a needle, a whir, a bit of radiation.................

I FEEL for you TK. Honestly and truly FEEL, and being nothing more than a fellow sufferer, all I have is the offer to pray and to hope the next hours and days will bring help and benefit your way.

It's still there. Getting worse. It was so perfect. I'm so upset. Now I'm having severe pain in the lumbar area. I understand the need for testing, but every needle stick, especially into the spinal cord area can cause problems. I'm just beside myself right now.i haven't had tov turn my stimulation up this high in months. Now it won't reach my feet so they're on fire. I see the dr Tuesday, and hopefully hook up with rep then unless it keeps getting worse. I can barely stand car rides. The lumbar pain bothers me. RSD can spread from any little thing. Anyway, thank y'all for the prayers. Hopefully, it's just swelling and will go down. Although by now, it should have. I hope all of you are well.

I am so so sorry
When all was well
To be left alone
And this is medical and science
at their best
MANY NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW AS I TOO WAS
UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT IS CENENTED OR
SECURE TO NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN
MAY ALL BE BETTER ASAP

I am SO sorry you are going through this!
I hope they won't pooosy-foot around - they need to find out what's happening!
My heart truly goes out to you and I too am praying...

If it keeps up I'd be on the fone with my pain doc - I would submit the implant needs to be checked for migration. Seems to me, tho, that the procedure would temporarily change the fluid levels in the spine and thus change the stimulation but it sure should go back to normal. I am NOT a doctor and that's my limited understanding of it.

Hoping/praying for the best for you!
