what happens when your lower back is in pain continually? I have stiff

Posted by sandy1954 @sandy1954, Jul 8 10:39am

I have stiff Person syndrome. i've had it for twenty years. I have igiv infusions. they slow it down. I can't walk i've lost my dependency. my hands are losing some motor skills. if you have any questions please just ask.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

I’m sorry I am not familiar with your diagnosis so this may not apply AT ALL. Just wondering if a Spinal Cord Stimulator would relieve some of the pain.

@sandy1954 So sorry the spinal cord stimulator won’t work for you. I wish you well in finding some relief.

What help from Doctors, imaging, physical therapy, or tests have you done?
Surgery should be a last option and you should not need to be in pain so much.
Gabapentin has helped me to sleep so I could heal bad back injurys.
