Neurostimulation information

[Guest guest]

,

I should have put this link in my earlier post

http://www.medtronic.com/neuro/paintherapies/pain_treatment_ladder/neuro

stimulation/neuro_neurostimulation.html

Medtronic is a reputable, well known company and has a good track

record for their many devices. That site has good info on Indications,

Contraindications, Warnings, Precautions, Adverse Events, and Caution.

Here's something else http://www.ans-

medical.com/patients/neurostimulation/neurostimulation.html anytime I

see a site mentioning " Investors or Media " I run...LOL

I have had DDD (degenerative disc disease, herniated disc and spinal

stenosis) I had just about every pain treatment known and what worked

the best on all that was Percocet and Ativan (the Ativan is good to

help take the threshold of pain down) At that same time, believe it or

not, I had Physical Therapy, Aquatic Therapy and TENS. My orthopedist,

trained highly in the spine et all, finally did my spinal fusion and to

this day I am pain free from my back. The surgery for that was worth it.
