Newest Comments about my DRG stimulator, implanted 5 months ago

Posted by lorirenee1 @lorirenee1, Dec 5, 2020

Hi, it's LoriRenee1. I thought I would do a final post about my DRG implant, in hopes of helping someone decide if they want a stimulator. It's been five months since my implant, and all in all, it barely helps my feet. I have both high and moderate amounts of pain still. I would say more moderate since the DRG, for the most part. This past month there has been an addition of electric type pain. I get a buzzing, zapping, tingling, sensation from anywhere waist down, but particularly in my glutes and shins. It is beyond annoying. It is painful and alien feeling. During the last month or so, I can't sit down easily, as my butt has electrical sensations that hurt. Today, I finally turned off the machine, and I will see how my feet feel without it. I could not bare it any more. So wish me luck folks. I hope my foot pain does not get more severe without it. If you have any questions, please ask. I will help you as much as I can. LoriRenee1

Good evening, dear @lorirenee1. You just hit my memory bank with the comment....." and I tried so hard!" I think that is obvious and it is not you that needs any straightening up. Why does it seem that when we really don't care or haven't really been convinced about something we attempt......it turns out beautifully and the world applauds. Then when something that we've built up as a go-to, a way to improve quality of life, the desired path to comfort and ease, why is it then that we don't get the outcome we wanted. Did we ask for too much? Are we not deserving? When will it be our turn?

So....in spite of all that......we need to find the strength to try again. Maybe we are close to discovering better technological inventions that swoosh away the pain and exchange it for energy. Maybe with unconditional acceptance of ourselves, we can be more accepting of our not so dear friend, pain, and with that will come comfort.

Holding you in my thoughts..........may you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
