My mom is getting a trial run device implanted in her back next week. She had pretty major back surgery a couple years ago and has been in severe pain ever since. She wants to get off the pain meds. The back surgeon basically put a metal cage around the lower part of her spine to keep it straight and when he was putting the screws in to hold it all in place, one of them is coming into contact with a nerve or something along those lines. She has tried just about everything and now is getting this device, on a trial run, that is supposed to block the nerve signals from her lower back to her brain. She is desperate for relief and if this doesn't work, I don't know what she can do.

We ignore our aches and pains when we are younger and just push through them. We should all take better care of our bodies so we aren't all broken and battered by the time we reach InVol's age.

Make sure the Spinal Cord Stimulator system is by Boston Scientific. They have the most programming options. Far superior to other options in my opinion.

Why can’t they move the screw that’s irritating the nerve?

Surgeon lost his phillips head? I really don't know that Doc. My aunt usually goes with my mom to her doctor appointments. I think it had something to do with not wanting to have to have surgery again.

Hey glitch how much to build a 10' by 20' deck? No rails or anything. Im thinking of putting a hot tub out back . Would you put the hot tub on top of the deck or put down a slab and build the deck around it?
