Implantable neurostimulator for chronic pain

A collection of all of the medical horror stories would fill a large library. I have a few of my own.

I'm turning 70 in August.

I went through the TMJ muddle 30 years ago and was given amitriptyline, which did the trick. At the time I was in a dysfunctional staff situation, and when I resigned a year later, stress was gone, TMJ was gone, and I no longer needed amitriptyline.

I spend 5-7 hours every day working in my yard, and all the other things that need to be done. The more I do, the more I pay at the end of the day. When I sit in my recliner with my feet up, or lying in bed, my feet and ankles are at 8, though, honestly, it's worse than that some days. My SCS just doesn't seem to be doing anything anymore.

I'm sure I would like to say more, but my brain isn't operating at par for some reason.

Jim
