Thank you, Amanda!
I am an 80-year-old male that was diagnosed with lumbar scoliosis AFTER entering the U.S. Army at the age of 23. At that point there was no pain associated with this condition, and there was no recommendation for any type of treatment such as a back brace and/or physical therapy. As a result, I did nothing because I wasn't experiencing any discomfort or pain of any sort. Fast forward to five years ago when I turned 75 years of age. At this point I began to have a great deal of pain and discomfort in my lower back and sought the help of a number of spine specialists and orthopedic surgeons who discussed possible corrective back surgery, as well as physical therapy and pain medications and spinal injections. I quickly ruled out surgery based on research I did, and the P/T and medications and injections were not eliminating the chronic pain. Recently I was referred by my V.A. primary care doctor to see a pain management specialist, who was the first doctor that recommended I go through the trial period offered by Boston Scientific to see if this therapy may provide me with relief from this chronic pain. Since learning of this therapy, I have been doing more research and came across your website. I am now trying to gather as much information about this technology to make an informed decision going forward. Thank you for allowing me to share my "story"!
