@jennirob01 Thank you for sharing that ! I pray you get some kind of relief. That’s interesting you mentioning the arm pit I as well get a random stabbing in the ribs just below the arm pit. I hen I went to Mayo Clinic they done a CT and an Scoliosis X-ray that’s when they found L4 left screw loose . My fear is with he stimulator blocking the pain we all know a screw that’s loose has to continue causing problems. Even with the trial stimulator taking care of all the pain I still couldn’t sleep in bed the compression on the nerves make my feet and lower legs go numb . I’m a scheduled the 14th for the permanent stimulator, since there’s no one that wants to fix the screw I guess I’ll try the stimulator until I’m paralyzed or get infection 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes. I was told this week after 5 years of pain and leaning forward, that my spine was fused out of alignment. My neurosurgeon doesn't know how to fix this. He is sending my case to a forum of specialists. This is my 2nd surgery. First one was great. Screws didn't integrate in sacrum and some replaced all screws. I knew something wasn't right but kept thinking it would improve. Saw PA twice during this time but she was no help.
