Hi rav,
My pain management Dr wanted me to try this, however they consider a 40% reduction in pain a success. He couldn't even guarantee a 40% reduction at that. To me, personally, it wasn't worth going thru the surgery, being sliced almost all the way down my spine, then a diagonal slice from between my shoulder blades, down and around to my stomach to where he wanted to implant the device (he said I didn't have enough ass to put it there, lol) and then a surgery every 9 years to replace the battery. It just wasn't worth it to me. I told him when he could guarantee a 80% or better reduction in pain then we'd talk about it, til then, no slicing me up for that. I'm kinda surprised a neurosurgeon is talking to you about that, in Charlotte it's the pain management Dr's that handle that. |
