Hi,my name is Diana Rowland & I am from Helena, Ala. I have severe scoliosis compounded by arthritis. Nothing seems to help with the pain. I have an implanted stimulator,have gone to physical therapy, had one back surgery, 4 blocks, & have taken a variety of pain medications & yet the pain is always with me. One surgeon says I am too old for more surgery (74). I don’t know where that leaves me. What I do know that surgery is worth the risk to me. I am open to anything that relieves the pain.
