I am going in this Wed to the hospital for another EMG and MRI w/ contrast of spine and brain to determine why my nerve pain still exists after a double level fusion...I hope it does not come down to me needing an implant device...uggh! Thanks! |

My husband had a SCS implanted 12 weeks ago. So far not so good. We have a follow up appointment this upcoming Monday with a spinal pain institute that we met with before he had his implant. We were told the implant would help with a minimum of 40% of his pain. To date my husband can't even turn it on because now he has an extreme amount of pain at the top of his back where he has never had pain before but where the top incision was done to feed the leads for the implant down. My husband had the trial done before the permanent implant and the trial worked well which is why he went ahead with the permanent implant. If you have more specific questions give me a message.

I am not sure Eva. I do know there are several kinds. The SCS which is written about alot on the forum, and then there is the morphine pump. A friend of mine has this, and it never gave her problems, just relief. It was inserted into her stomach, and the refill is injected monthly into a spot through her skin. It doesn't hurt her. I am not sure there in a non invasive kind of pump. I will get on line and see what I can find out. If I had a choice, I would have this morphine pump. I was turned down for the SCS for what ever reasons they had. At the time I had no insurance, which was part of the problem. In fact finding any specialist was difficult.
I will try to find out more for you Eva. ginnie |

My Dr talked to me a few months ago about getting the stimulator put in so I talked tommy pain management about it he says he doesn't recommend it for me said to be honest it will work for a little bit but then won't help me so it would be a waste of time getting. Now again yesterday my surgeon said something about it again he went from talking about fixing my incomplete fusion to have the stimulator put in even wrote my pain management dr a note for me to give him about it. My husband, mother and everyone else said don't get it. Now far as the pump goes my mothers dr wanted her to get that but she declined because she did some searching on it and found out they have to cut out a space in your back for the box and you will go through more problems with it then you already have.
