 Is the stimulator you are talking about something that has water in it or

somehing? And it will set for heat or cool? If so, my son-in-law just got one

last week. I haven't seen it yet, but he just loves it!

Aren’t we all on this list to look for support?

I am going to the surgeon’s office Feb 7 for the first meeting to talk about

getting a Spinal Cord stimulator. I’m really nervous about it…..it’s not

something that I had really considered, but the expert in surgical intervention

believes that it will help me. I have RSD in my right side and have recently

been diagnosed with a herniation of my L4/L5. The herniation is new, but the RSD

I’ve had since 1992….they told me back then that I’d be in a wheel chair

in 6

months……*knock on wood* I’m not in a chair all the time, just when I have

to go

out of the house……

Anyone on here have a Stim that can tell me what you’ve been through and if

you

feel it was worth it? The Pain management doctor that regular doctor sent me to

said he didn’t believe that a pump was going to help the RSD, but he felt a

Stim

would. I’m going back to see him Tuesday, and BOY am I going to talk to him.

Two

months ago, he did a lumbar sympathetic block that worked WONDERFULLY! I had 15

hours of TOTAL RSD relief….the rest of the pain was there, but the RSD was

GONE

for 15 hours! I was in heaven…yes, my pain came back, but it was LESS than

normal for the rest of the month. Then, last month, when I went back and told

him how WONDERFUL the relief was, he decided to try a DIFFERENT block to see if

it worked even BETTER…….. FAIL! NO relief, NONE at all…..he did injections

above

and below the herniation, despite my telling him that the herniation is only a

few months old…. So when I go in Tuesday, I’m going to try and get him to do

the

Lumbar Sympathetic Block AGAIN…..since it worked and there is a chance that

they

will “stack†and give more relief……

No, this one is inside the body….they will set the electrodes into my spine,

then place a control in the cheek of my butt, under the skin…..it’s called a

Spinal Cord Stimulator…

Actually, in a way I AM looking forward to it…..if it works, and it lowers my

pain even a little bit….then I am really praying for it. Now, I am NOT

looking forward to the pain of the surgery or recovery…but if it works, then

I’m HOPING it will all be worth it.

The real fear I have is that the surgery puts the RSD into overdrive and it

spreads……that is my biggest fear.
