Pain

Posted by josh1776 @josh1776, 6 hours ago

I suffer from chronic pain, had a brain tumor back in 2010 , the tumor was intertwined with my central nervous system that controlled my left side. Now due to having radiation to kill the tumor I am in chronic pain on my left side. I’ve been on opioids ever since and nerve medication. Just want to get off of it. Any advice? And I’m looking to come up to the mayo to see if they can help me.

@josh1776 Man, you've had such a terrible time. Have any doctors discussed a spinal cord stimulator or pain pump? These are devices that have given a lot of people relief from chronic pain. My prayers are with you.
