Hi bkruppa, just to give you my input, I was incapacitated from 2010- 2012 following an inguinal mesh hernia repair, I had a spinal cord stimulator fitted in October 2012 in the Mater Private in Dublin, I went back to work after 2.5 years in February 2013.it really got me through a tough time and gradually improved to a point where I could again function normally , unfortunately through my own fault I re-injured the area again in November last which has grounded me again, I had my battery replaced about a month ago , which will give me more range and quiet stimulation, ie it works away in the back round .
so I am in recovery mode again, but I feel I wouldn't have had the relief I had if I hadn't taken the risk in the first place, I felt I had no choice at the time.
Regards, Sean
