Ask your doctors about placing a " Dorsal Column Stimulator " Implant in you.

Look it up for info. I have had one for 13 years and am on my 3rd one. It works.

I know just what you have going on with the Spondylolisthesis and all that goe's

along with the condition. It is a birth defect that becomes worse over time.

When a vertabra slips from a grade 1 up to a grade 5 you will have a very

serious condition. Grade 2 and up is very bad. Ask me anything about the

operation and I will be glad to tell you my experance. The recovery is long.

They opened me up from my shoulder blades down to the very bottom of my back. I

had 32 staples in my back to close the sugery . This is a very serious operation

and do not take it lightly . I still suffer from bad pain today, every day . I

take lots of drugs for pain.

You may need a operation weather you want one or not. I don't know how bad you

are so I can't say. I can just tell you my condition. I had surgery in Jan 1998

and had the Stimulator implanted in Oct. 1998 the same year due to the high

level of pain. Read all you can about the condition . The link that was posted

is a good one and click on all the other links and read them also on that page.

Good Luck.

God Bless you.   GARY
