Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
I just spoke with a friend who is a physical therapist. He says he has several patients who have spinal cord stimulators for chronic pain. I have burning pain in both hands and one leg from a minor spinal cord injury about 7 years ago. Does anyone have any experience with spinal cord stimulators. I'm not sure if it would be more uncomfortable having a battery and wires installed in my butt or to live with this burning pain???
I had a temp. one in 2 weeks ago and it was miraculous for my RSD pain. I'm tentatively scheduled to have the permanent one put in on 10/25.
I hope you were able to look into this further. Please give us an update!
