Posted by nana80 @nana80, May 3 4:17pm

3 years of they think xL4L5 S1 pain - had hemilectomy on one side - worse - had 8 steroid injections 2 ablations - custom orthotics acupuncture PT many times. Have osteoporosis never should have operated - have T-12 T11 L1 compressed fractures from operation - pain goes at times from butt, performis down right leg-walk with rollator and go on stationery bike - 2 MRIs can’t pin point where compression is pressing on which nerve - sciatic right leg goes to an 8 or 9

Hello I had a bone growth stimulator after my spinal fusion because I wasn't healing. It definitely helped. Wear it several hours a day.

An X-ray saw a little hook from arthritis and from the first shot, my pain that I had for years was gone for about 5 solid days. First time in a long time. The pain came back. The shot was just some pain numbing solution. It showed that it was my problem was a pinched nerve. I had to have a second injection because my insurance company required it to make sure I had the same relief from the second injection as I did with the first injection. The final injection will be to abrade the nerve. It’s not a permanent solution. The nerve will grow back in six months or more, but if I can get relief after years of pain, I’ll take it. If it comes back, I’ll get another ablation
