I am so happy this is working for you. I'm still too chicken to move forward with surgery. I take 500mg extended release nucynta and 1800mg gabapentin a day. It works for the most part. Most of my breakthrough pain is at night when I'm trying to sleep. Since my pain pills are at the max daily allowed, when this stops working, a SCS will be my only option. Your videos have been a wonderful source of real information. Stay well and as close to pain free as possible.

Hi tricky rick I find that your videos are very informative on each stage of how it's going with the implant. ☺✌

My rep was surprised when I told him I too feel like a surge when I have been doing something told him when this happens I pause what I'm doing and rest up . Thanks for videos.

I finally got in for my trial. I'm on day three of the trial and have noticed some slight improvements. I guess I need to be a bit more patient, but I feel like my rep should be a bit more attentive. He doesn't call when he says he will which I find a bit frustrating. I want to try a different program, but he wants to keep me where I've been since Tuesday. I understand waiting until the procedural pain is gone in order to differentiate nerve pain from procedural pain, but the procedural pain went away after the first day. After four spinal fusion surgeries, I'm no stranger to pain, but I'm looking to get more than what he seems to be content with. I suppose I'll let it ride another day, but after that, I may call the remote specialist. Thanks for your videos. They've been very helpful.

Hello I just had my surgery on the 30th very uncomfortable at night sleeping on my right side and my leg goes numb so I'm not sleeping properly. I'm excited and hopeful.

I finally got my implant on the 24 which was Tuesday of this week. It's been a bit of a rough week after surgery. I had a doctor's appointment I had to keep on Wednesday. I had sit in the waiting room for three hours and I was in alot of pain. Otherwise I'm doing good. I love your videos.
