Hi All & Kelsey, Does anyone know about implanted devices for pain?
I was in an accident in 2017 with lots of broken bones and torn muscles. I have a major hip muscle that is torn off the bone, and I have trouble finding a surgeon who can fix it. In the meantime, I am searching for a pain solution.
I'm in a state that does not allow opioid meds unless confined to medical facility or 5 days from out patient surgery.

My implanted Medtronic SCS worked fairly well for about 2.5 years. Then, it just stopped. Not everyone gets relief from these things unfortunately.

I had a Medtronic intrathecal catheter for 6 years. It caused arachnoiditis, causing pain worse than my original diagnosis. It was not a success for me
