Spinal cord stimulator offers drug-free alternative for chronic pain

[@ruthmoldan5523]

I've had mine since 1999. I am so grateful!

After 9 months of having my implant device, they do work, but they are not the cure all. They are really only good for nerve pain and low to moderate back, hip or leg pain. Mine does not work against the joint pain, and some of the more sever nephropathy pain. I still need pain killers and other medications, but the type and dosage have been reduced. If your interested in this type of procedure they will require a test period of a few days, try it and see if you like it and it works. It does not work for everyone, and some people may just not like it, so take the trial and see if it helps.

Amazing 😉 I’m getting a Nevro Implanted hopefully by the end of this month (July) I’m praying to God it helps me 🙏🏻 I really have no life except for going to doctors and having tests. I am so depressed and cry every day 😢 This is not living! I think about death often but I can’t take my own life because I have a daughter and two grandchildren and I wouldn’t do that to them. I just want to be able to and want to do things besides sitting in my house 🏡 The drugs don’t help at all and I don’t want them anymore. I pray God hears my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sorry to hear Dottie, my mum was also very bad and now is recovering from back surgery (nerves decompression), hope it makes a difference, she seems to be making progress. I have another relative that had one of these stimulators (I believe from what my mum told me) some time ago. She was very bad too after two failed back surgeries. The family was worried about her and now I think she is quite better and can at least have a normal life. Hope it works with you too, please keep going 💪

So if you have back damage and you’re Masking pain with this spinal cord stimulator, would you not be further damaging your back Without you knowing it? I want to actually do stuff again, not just put my socks on without pain.

I had one of these items IMPLANTED in my body and it doesn't work. The wrong setting sends shocks beyond belief. *Electricity Destroys Nerves That Could Cause Permanent Paralysis!* *I HAD TO HAVE IT REMOVED !*

[@omnipop4936]

LONNIE DOBBINS But you must've felt significant improvement during the trial period, right? (or they wouldn't have proceeded with the actual implant.) So, what changed?

[@scottguillette]

Right? Did it make Your pain worse than before you had it implanted, Like me?

[@scottguillette]

@@omnipop4936 cause things change as your body tries to adjust...but sometimes, like me things happen and my paddle lead stimulator broke and fried my nerves more so then the reason I needed it in the 1st place. And I got hit by a pickup truck riding my bike home form work and really needed it...or so I thought!

[@darkblood7561]

The D . Traying to confines me to do it but I am not to shore I want some one to open my back again and install any think in my back .

[@lrm3924]

Thank you, for sharing your experience! Im convinced not to get pushed into putting an electrical device in my spine. NO WAY!!

[@scottguillette]

Had it done had it installed into my spine a paddle lead and it broke and cause more pain then any other trauma that my spine endured by getting hit by a pickup truck

[@humblethegreat5431]

Work on the pain through a neuroplastic approach and you will rise back to life!

[@thegreatmonster]

So what happens after the pain is gone... what if you start walking wonky because your body won't give you no feedback anymore?

[@JosephOfBorg]
