@penn I’ve had a Medtronic spinal stimulator for 10 cysts on my spinal nerves for almost 3 years now. I don’t know how I would live without it. I went almost 15 years without a diagnosis because doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong or thought I was “drug seeking.” I was and, without the pump, still am, in pain. It’s all the time, the cysts squeeze my nerves and then I have severe arthritis on top of that. Now a new diagnosis of ITP, an autoimmune disorder of low platelets. I can’t take things like ibuprofen. Medtronic pump has been a lifesaver for me.
