I had left inguinal hernia surgery with mesh and a plug in 2015 and have had horrible pain since day 1
I have had several nerve injections that have not given me any pain relief.
I take pain medication everyday
The last time they tried nerve injections the dr said I only have one layer in my abdomen and the nerves he wanted to inject could not be seen
Now on May 3 they are going to try the Proclaim DRG nerve stimulator on me. If it helps control the pain after one eeek then they will implant it in my back.
It is like a spinal chord stimulator but it is made for chronic pain in the lower part of your body and for chronic pain after hernia surgery
I also have bad back issues so they’ve talked about implanting a spinal chord stimulator some time later
I’ll be 80 years old in June and I was always a very active lady until this horrible chronic pain I’m not good sitting upright or standing very long.
Has anyone had this pain stimulator placed in their body?
