I have an Abbot my team is great it has only been 3weeks. My Dr said I needed a spinal replacement or I will most likely be crippeld within 6 months. I chose this due to the pain. Good luck

Have you asked your doctor about the status of intradiscal stem cells?

Hi Debbie, Can you elaborate on where exactly your spinal condition is? 16 months ago I had decompression and fusion at C4 and C5. My neurosurgeon said I had incomplete SCI at this level of my spine. It causes painful neuropathy in my hands, arms, feet and legs. Hands and arms are the worst. I've been taking 300 mg Lyrica each day but need more pain relief. My Neurosurgeon said I am candidate for Spinal Cord Stimulator so naturally I am interested in your 90% pain relief but wondering what level yours is placed at. I have some concerns about SCS including the implant surgery of the device and if it causes discomfort. Thanks.
