I have a spinal cord implant. Boston Scientific. I love it. Unfortunately, i also needed to change my diet to help my body. My suggestion is stop all refined sugar. Fruits are ok but anything with cane (white) sugar stop putting it in your body; No red meat. Fish or poultry; limit alcohol or completely stop it; exercise..just move. Sugar causes so much damage to your body. I have CRPS and arthritis. Changing my diet made a huge change. Some folks don’t like hearing this because they don’t want to give up sweets. For me, it was a no brainer. Try it for 6 weeks. See if it doesn’t make a difference. I started it last November and am amazed.
