My accident was 8 yrs. ago, diagnosed as full LBPI (although no Horner's Syndrone), nerve graft surgery which fixed sublexation of shoulder but no arm muscle recovery, pain is at a constant 7 which is higher then from the start, I am on very low amts of meds because they don't do much, I'm an Aquarius with brown eyes and a nice smile and about 5'9"
. Since my accident, I've had 6 members of my family pass, most recently my Mom, who died at the young age of 64 after a 4 year fight with ovarian cancer. My Dad has felt guilty over the years since he has had his own tragedies to deal with and has not gotten involved with my injury. But now, with the passing of his wife of 43 years, he is on a mission to "fix" me. I have been approved in July to have a spinal cord stimulator implanted , but I'm scared s--tless. I have not heard of a single person with central nerve pain to have any possitive results with this procedure. The device consists of two wires they feed up the back on either side of your spinal cord starting in the lumbar region and implanting the leads to your spinal cord in your neck region. The doctor swears that the only complications can be from anesthetization and infection. Has anyone tried this procedure and what where your results.THANX
