I’m scheduled for an implant in June. During the trial, it helped me sleep better. After the trial, I’m back to sleeping little and feeling horrible. I have DDD but I’m all fused except for C1-C2 so that solves the DDD problem.

Hi Blewbel
My Dr. is scheduling me for the NALU device. I am fused at Lumbar and Cervical only and the rest of it is DDD. I have a severe Thecal sac nerve impingement. I have had nerve ablations which helped somewhat but still cannot sleep. I bought a $35 TENs unit on AMazon, it felt good but the patches have caused a bad rash so I'm waiting for it to clear up. I am praying this device helps as zero quality of life right now.

I have consulted with a few top surgeons here in CA, there is nothing they can do except for fuse the whole spine like yours...it terrifies me so I can't even consider it. Most recently I was told that the only thing possible was to fuse my whole spine....2 month recoup in nursing home....I can't 🙁 Please share your experience with the total fusion.

Thank you for responding. I am new to this site, just looking for some hope.
