Hello, My name is Luanne @lulufp1975,
I am new to this group. In June of 2021 I was walking to my car after a lovely lunch when a car backed into my body. I have damage to my spine, disc and severe nerve damage. I have a Spine and Pain management specialist that I love. I have been receiving epidural injections, and oblations to different areas. I was seeing an acupuncturist three times a week. I did physical therapy. And right now I regularly see a chiropractor who I love. Not old school chiropractic where he does now manipulating and massaging. I also listen to high frequency, music which helps. Energy healing. Yesterday I saw my neurologist. And we talked about. The HF10 spinal cord stimulation system. I’ve been doing a lot of research and there’s always so much information pointing both ways to the pros and cons. I have post traumatic stress due to this injury. And I would say on a hole I am improving but I get very discouraged because I take one step forward and two steps back. On February 1 I had an ablation in my lower right side of my back and I’m due to have an ablation on the left side on 29 February. since then I have had very minimal pain in that area. But now pain has started in another area in my middle left side of my back. So that is why we were discussing the HF10 implant. as I have been very leery about surgery. I was wondering if there are any recent updates on this device and if anyone can point me to those that have had success with it. I do know that with anything there is always risks. But what I wanna know is with the advancement in technology are the risks less? Thank you all for your input.
