What is Sprint PNS ? I had decompression surgery only, but now I have pain in my left toes when I walk too much and can't walk on for half a day after.
They want to do cortisone shots but I have osteoporosis which gets worse from cortisone.

I was on prednisone for over 9 months for polyfibromyalgia rheumatica. I had just got my osteoporosis back to osteopenia. I'm sure I'm back to osteoporosis now so I understand your concern.
Sprint PNS is an implanted wire with a Pulse Generator attached to my back that I will wear for 60 days. It's supposed to change the brain waves so they don't respond to the pain. I'm scheduled for the procedure on 11-22. I pray it works.
