I don't have time to read now, but greatly excited to have reading material for my insomnia tonight. <br /><br />I to am I chronic pain patient. I've had lumbar pain for 10+ years. 1 fusion in 09 and countless injections and therapies. You name it, I've had it. Last one May 16, hence time to play around on internet. I had a Spinal Cord Stimulator implant in May and slowly but surely going through another recovery. I am never happy to hear of someone else in pain but it does help to know your not alone and to have encouragement from others who understand. Looking forward to coming back to do some reading. <br />God Bless, T Trahan<br />www.myspinalcordstimulatorjourney.blogspot.comMy Spinal Cord Stimulator Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999356008665698457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304116919113614073.post-70547874262552230882011-07-08T18:57:42.824-04:002011-07-08T18:57:42.824-04:00Marie,

It was one of many, many procedures done in an attempt to relieve the extreme pain in my Thoracic spine. <br /><br />Being awake enough to tell the Doc how I am feeling during the procedure, when I feel the heat or the RF, it was not one of the most comfortable procedures I've had. But it was a try, an attempt to get better. <br /><br />And sometimes, trying is all we can do. <br /><br />With Gentle Hugs and much love---<3<br />ShaunaShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517544369249500224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4304116919113614073.post-88000423522035200042011-06-12T17:45:45.687-04:002011-06-12T17:45:45.687-04:00I also go through these exact procedures.

Instead of on my neck it is done on my lower back (both sides) from L2-3 to S-1 and then it is done for both Sacroiliac Joints (my left one is broken). The first two weeks after the RF can be difficult with the first couple days being the worst as the scarring forms on the nerves. For me these procedures are pure torture but I continue to suffer through them because they grant me a significantly lower pain level for 8 to 9 months. I just wish I was one of those lucky people who benefit for 2 years from the procedure LOL<br /><br />Good luck Marie, I hope the RF helps you A LOT!Raven/Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502412577584236318noreply@blogger.com
