In Aug 2009 I went through the surgery to fuse those two levels together and since have had some
relief. However I still deal with chronic
pain every day. Just this Monday my
pain doctor did the trail for the MyStim implant in my back. The purpose of this is to feel tingling sensations rather than pain. Sadly this trial run did not work and it was a nightmare.
My doctor has since rudely said that I was reaching the point of not being able to be treated.
