My lower back has every issue in the book. 3 surgeries, every injection, years of ablations. Pain was straight across the hips with stabbing pain in left hip that wrapped around the front of the thigh and down to my left ankle.
I was insistent that my left hip was failing as it also has a good amount of arthritis. I was wrong. I had a permanent spinal stimulator implanted Nov.24 and it provided a minimum 80% pain relief. The pain was from my back. My knees are arthritic with torn meniscus’s. I still feel that pain. Still feel minor discomfort from the left hip arthritis which is felt in the groin.
Had my right hip replaced Nov. of 22. I still will get a jolt of pain on occasion.
The spinal stimulator is life changing for someone like myself that has had chronic moderate to acute pain for over 40 years.
