After a quest of explanations about wicked pain of my lower back that travels down my leg-shin-foot, I finally have a Pain Specialist who says they can help me. I was given info on a Spinal Cord Stimulator that will first be trialed then permanently implanted.
I was REALLY hoping any with MS who has one of these could PLEASE PLEASE (yup I am begging-pathetic huh?) give me ANY info on how it is going.
I already asked about MRI's and was told the FDA has already approved brain MRI's to be done for those with a SCS and the company "NEVRO" is now working on Spinal Cord MRI's.
Please know that I am in so much pain, I am beside myself, at times. I even get to the point where I understand why some people with intractable pain consider suicide. I am not considering this drastic option because I try to stay strong but, at times, I appreciate why some think about it.
I am currently on Norco, until I get the temporary wires placed.
