The holidays slowed my response.

Fall of 2012 I was severely injured making a felony arrest. I needed immediate surgery but workers comp wasn't interested. 15 months later, I lost the use of my left leg completely. I couldnt drive and had to use a Walker. I sold my house so I could have surgery. I had L4, L5, and S1 fused, a rod installed, and screwed together.

I regained leg use and am able to drive again. My physical activity has been cut back to almost none. Anything I do sends pain levels sky high. epidurals haven't worked. Several different kinds of therapy has helped but not cured the pain. My doctor suggested a spinal stimulator and gave five brochures to review. The Stim Wave was one of the five. I had found it in my own research as well.it interests be because of the new technology.

Hello, did you ever have a SCS (spinal cord stimulator) installed, i.e. Stimwave, Nevro, etc.? If so did they help significantly reduce the pain? Thanks

I'm interested in your research. I need something badly for pain. I have thought about a spinal stimulator but need more info and a new DR. The DR. I have now only gives out pills, opioids that don't help. As with you, epidurals never worked for me either.
