My name is Janis, I’ve had chronic pain for 20 plus years. My paim stimulater was inplanted 1/17.
It rins the entire length of my spine. It does help dealing with the pain, no it don’t stop the pain it help my brain to deal with it.
I also have rods, played and screwd in my clavicle tje help my pain going down my left arm. Also me lower back as well. With in the last two plus years my paim has increased from my geet to my hands and shoulders. I just keep moving, I know one day I may be in a wheelchair. I’m 57

If it hasn't happened yet it doesn't have to happen. Always see yourself as not needing a wheelchair. Have you tried meditation?

It's hard to understand what others experience, especially with regard to pain. I imagine that the stimulator is helping at some level, though my own experience has been that it doesn't do the whole job.
I have autonomic and small fiber peripheral neuropathy, which is a progressive disease, so I have no knowledge of what a year may bring. I'm trying not to obsess over it, but it's hard not to think about it.
Do your doctors have any other options to offer you?
