Ron Schlict and Wife

Originally posted via Sharing Mayo Clinic on March 4, 2019

Ron Schlicht thought the chronic pain he'd been living with in his right leg was never going to go away. That began to change, however, after Ron came to Mayo Clinic and met the care team in the Pain Clinic.

Ron Schlicht lived with the effects of meralgia paresthetica for years. "Depending on the day, it would give me different sensations," he says of the chronic pain in his right thigh. "Most of the time, it was very painful if something would rub against my thigh. I do a lot of air travel for work, so I was always brushing up against other people. It was just very uncomfortable."

The condition wasn't a problem just for Ron, but for those close to him, too. "When you're in chronic pain, you brace yourself for it at the start of each day," he says. "That unknowingly makes your body and mind tense. My friends and family were telling me I was becoming edgy and quiet, and that I'd get irritated easily. I was always so focused on trying to ignore the pain and live with the fact that there was nothing I could do."

Hi friends in pain. Me? More you can imagine. A 10 all day.
ICE FROZEN IN A FOOT MASSAGER TYPE SET UP IS MY LATEST FRIEND.

IMPLANT?
IMPLANTE?
You are adding another dimension to your issue which I can truly see why... BUT
Please look into the HUGE ASS PC OF HARDWARE BEING USED : IMPLANTED...

Talk to others 1st.
Hearing them out will enable you to decide one more time.

my pain specialist has been pushing on me for 2 months.

I FINALLY TOLD HIM TO IMPLANT IT ON SOMETHING ELSE.

I TOLD HIM THE FEEDBACK I HAVE IS NOT EVEN 90% ++++
So why have HIM OR ANYONE IMPLANT A DEVICE IN MY BODY.

He'll NO.

I swear to all you, HE WALKED OUT MY 2-3 min office visit in 4 mins.

He was P OFF.

Ask him if he would IMPLANT ANYTHING IN HIS BODY... DID NOT REPLY...:.

Look, this is my opinion. Am in pain as you are. 8-9
10 most of the day.....
And
Loading off on OPIOIDS OR IMPLANTS IS NOT NOT NOT TO YOUR or THOSE LIVE AND LOVE YOU.

Dont be mad... AT YOU OR THOSE AROUND YOU.
WRITE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS DOWN.
Me?
Will KEEP PRAYING 🙏

One has to do what is best for that person based on sound medical advice and ones own research. There is no single miracle answer to absolve one of chronic pain.

My point is I MUST SHARE WHAT I ALSO KNOW FOR A FACT. Otherwise, doing YOU ALL A DISFAVOR. It’s the way I see it. Friends.

If in any way intruding, a thousand excuses.

Look here,

Anything, is intrusive is more dangerous than a treatment we I can stop at any time. Yes?
This unit once is permanently embedded installed, it is what it is.
LOOK IT UP ON U TUBE UNDER RESENT WELL INFORMED NEU PATIENTS.candidates.

Ps
I had a PEDOITRIST 9 yrs ago CUT IN MY L. LEG TO
RELIEF THE NERVE, SCIATIC nerve off all.
