Hello my name is Jan . I had L4 and L5 fractured due to MVA in 2026. I did not let them operate as they wanted. I did allow the Dr. to glue both vertebrae. I let them glue 4 months ago. I continued to have pain. I am suppose to get TENS tomorrow. Has any one on here have this procedure and what do I expect. Do they insert it in your spine?

I haven’t had one but I know it’s implanted right under your skin close to the bottom of your spine

Hi Jan,
I had C5/6 replaced with artificial discs at the end of February. It went VERY well and took pain meds usually once a day for about a week.
This past Monday I had an EXTREME-Lift on L3/4. I have a 2 inch (or so) incision.
I walk with a walker, for now. I have TERRIBLE pain on the top side of my thigh. It gets so bad I need ed a pain pill.
The neurosurgeon told me that, ampng other things, can happen...pain, numbness, tingling, etc. Some are temporary, some are not. I do not know what constitutes temporary.
I was told I could get these because during the procedure, nerves and internal organs and body parts are moved around . Like I said, I know you didn't have the same thing but the end could be the same.
