I'm Barb and you might have read some of my posts. I have chronic CRPS in my right foot and have a DRG implant and also a Nalu implant in my leg to try to help with pain. They don't really do it though. I've had this pain for 6 years from a nerve in my foot that tore. I'm sure at this point, my brain is creating the pain and it's not my foot that is not healed. I am signed up for the Mayo Comprehensive Pain Rehabilitation Center that is 16 days (more with the weekends) in September. I have faith in Mayo and know they will be able to reduce my meds and also give me a way to lower and/or deal with my pain. I have read thru their guide and also talked to the nurse for quite a while when signing up for this. We go in August for our annual physical there and I will go to talk to them again prior to my commitment. I am pretty sure my pain doctor at Rush does not believe in this but if your insurance company will pay $40,000 for this treatment, then Mayo has proven to do what they say. Pray for me as I really need this! I would love my life back without pain or at least lower pain and meds!
