My doctors have been discussing trying this machine to help with back pain due to neuromuscular scoliosis. The MS has wrecked my back with scoliosis which is deteriorating pretty quick
The Pain Doc tried an Epidural and it helped so much, but by the time the next shot was due (2 months later) the scoliosis had caused the bones in my lumbar vertebrae to fuse so there was only a small space to inject some med...so she said shots are out.
The neurostimulator sounds very interesting...my concern is with my baclofen pump. I called Medtronic and they said the two are compatible if....then she told me a series of restrictions
indicating it's really not always compatible with the pump.
I go back to the neurosurgeon next week to see what he has to say. Just wondered if anyone had had one of the neurostimulators implanted.
