I go to PT twice every week, which Medicare covers. My therapist is also a myokinesthetist and her techniques have been very helpful. I have also had 12 treatments of deep-tissue laser therapy and they also have helped with pain, tingling, and numbness; however, these are an out-of-pocket cost. Nothing I have tried works for my balance issues. I am reluctantly proceeding with having a device implanted which connects with the spinal nerve and is supposed to help with pain but not with imbalance. If anyone has had one of these, I'd love to hear if it is a procedure that you would recommend.

I am paying out of pocket too!! Balance is terrible-am going to work on that. Let's keep in touch as I am being scheduled for the implant also-pain specialist likes using Boston Scientific. My friend, who was a nurse, is really frightened for me to do it because if it fails, there can be bad consequences to live with forever; but, I don't see but two choices, live with the pain or take the risk. Are you taking gabapentin or progabalin and what mg and amount per day and when-I really am having trouble with brain fog if I take it in the morning.
