Met with my rep again last week, she has upped the ampage again and added new programs. She did that the day before I had the nerve root sleeve injection, facet injection and epidural flush so it will be hard to determine exactly what is/has made the difference but today, pain levels are much more bearable.

So glad it was more bearable with adjustment. I have to admit stim is not perfect as a solution....but it does help me, and more than that, others as well.
Pain spikes? Still part of my life, especially when I overdo. Strangely enough, given the odd nerve makeup I live, I 'll be sitting, standing, or lying down and one or another of my legs will experience electric shock sensation....and even jump/jerk. It is kind of embarassing in work or social situations, but folks usually understand. I truly hope pain resolves to tolerable levels without invasive intervention. Praying all the best, M56 |
