Radiculopathy?

Posted by jchet @jchet, Oct 19 6:48pm

Has anyone tried a stimulator for radiculopathy?

Is your radiculopathy from your cervical or lumbar spine? I have had both but never used a stimulator. I had surgery to decompress my spinal cord and nerve roots that caused the radiculopathy (pinched nerves).

Have you tried physical therapy, spinal injections to reduce inflammation, or looked into nerve ablation?

I think it’s lumbar. Have you tried ablation or spinal injections?

Hi @jchet

xxx”RANGE OF SYSTEMS” xxx
That’s a short question of lots of answers…
Here’s one: pinching nerve in part of your spine of (a) pain or (b) weakness or (c) numbness or (d) tingling.

I’ve been there on my bone, nerve on the a small of my bottom back. A surgery doctor(s) helped to end the pain from my top rear-ends to the bottom of my feet.

xxx STILL… xxx
Still have and had before my surgery was my weakness & numbness, usually my right side from my feet down. But, I excise my whole legs by stretching and lifting.

Thx,

@jchet can you be more specific as to the type of stimulator your referring to? A TENS nerve stimulator or a muscle stimulator?

REPLY

Some kind of nerve stimulator that’s put under the skin on the lower back.
