Oh Dear Hazel,
What a HORROR! I am so devastated for you. I have suffered horrendously thru my SCS, removed 2 weeks ago and count myself lucky I didn't get paralysis....I have had almost 11 months now 'sitting' due increased pain from device. Im sure like me you feel Violated. Your story is absolutely terrible...pain meds dont help me too much but I do understand the horrible sensations of a heightened nervous system. I get terribly frightening flare ups. Have you heard of Joe Dispenza and meditations...its hard to grasp but I researched it thoroughly and its helpful.
I personally am contacting the FDA to report my negative experiences. I do hope somehow you can feel better, find some small joy in life...im sure anyone here is always ready to offer a shoulder if you need. We trust Drs too much. Prayers to you for deep healing. Im so sorry this happened.

Thank you. Im sorry its happening to you too. I have tried to find a lawyer to aue but not one out of 29 lawyers i contacted will not take my case. Their excuse was "they wont make enough money". Its not about the money for me. I almost lost my life because a surgeon did not know what he was doing and now im in more agonizing pain with my back for the rest of my life. I want to be that person that stands up and pushes back. Doctors think they are God. They do not have the right to chose who lives who dies, who suffers who doesnt. I hope i can find people on here to stand up with me and fix this very illegal health care system.
Thank you for the advice on meditation. I will look into it. I know its hard but keep your chin up and im here if you need to talk.
