I am your Guy WITH experience with Fusion, Discectomy, Epidurals, etc, etc..etc..
YOU are Very Lucky that someone even Mentioned the Spinal Stim to you...!
The "average" Back Sturgeon will NOT tell you a thing about it..Sad but True..
I did my homework and asked my Primary Dr to "Refer Me" to Dr Gladstone Churchill McDowell..St Judes, Columbus, Ohio.. I had to take a few preliminary tests and Interview with The Dr several times.. He put it in for a "7 to 10 Day Trial"...took him about 10 Minutes.. Over the 1st 3 days, I was just trying to find how much Stim I needed and I was Over-Stimulating way too much..!! I actually "went down" once and could not get up..until I turned the Stim off..! I learned that it does not take a whole lot of noticeable Spinal Stim, to BLOCK the Pain..! I have had a good SOLID, Reliable 85% Reduction in Lower back and Rt Hip/Thigh pain/numbness since it was installed... I have 10 different Programs I can choose from and adjust them a Great deal, each.. And they can put more in if I think I need them..! I had quit Western Square Dancing 10 Years prior to this and am now a Steady Strong _ level Square Dancer..! Before, if I did try, I had to have someone ready to "Step in" as my Rt Foot and Leg would go numb... What I have found now is that I do need to Turn the unit OFF, if I am going to Square Dance, or I get a weakness in my legs, during the steady movement..BUT..I may NOT need to turn it back ON for 3 or MORE Days..as the Stim seems to have a Strong Residual effect..!!! Do I "Like it"...????? My Neuro-Surgeon was ready to schedule ANOTHER Fusion (You don't need those rods now..we can just Slide them UP"...was her reply..!! I am SO Glad I looked into this... I only need to lay on a small pad for 1 Hour, Once every week or two, to charge it..Totally NO Connections..!! ONE MORE Thing... There are 2 Different ways this can be Implanted..the "Open" and the "Closed".. You want the "Closed" Implant..Far less traumatic, with far less chance of Infection.. My neighbor had an "Open Implant" and it did NOT go well.. Where are you Located..?? IF you are anywhere near OHIO, I would advise you to see Dr Mcdowell.. He has many options to control "Pain"..that is "What he Does"..and it would include morphine pumps and more..for severely bad Cancer patients, etc.. Hope this is what you were looking for...It WORKS for ME..!!! Ron..

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
