My dad has DDD, stenosis, osteoarthritis of the spine and Parkinson's
In his mid 70's. Unfortunately they haven't found a way to rebuild /replace the whole spine yet. Have they mentioned trying a TENS, or possibly a SCS trial? SCS is a implanted & stronger version of a electronic pain signal blocker. WE have a SCS sub forum here- http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum118.html There are also implanted pain pumps that can deliver the meds right to the spinal fluid. My dad might be looking into these options at some point.
