My Experience with a Spinal Stimulator

“I hope this blog post will give you the information you need to make a decision about getting a spinal stimulator. I would like to share my experience with one.

“So, what is it?” “Why would someone want one?” “How does it work?” These are all questions that may be running through your head right now. Hopefully this blog post will answer some of those questions and help you decide if this is something for you or not.

What is a spinal stimulator and what does it do?

A spinal stimulator is a small, battery-powered device that can be used to treat back pain and other conditions of the spine. It works by sending out low frequency electrical impulses along specific pathways in your nervous system; this relieves pressure on nerve roots without stimulating them directly which lessens symptoms such as tingling or sharp pains associated with sciatica blocks because they’re not being overworked as much .

A spinal stimulator is surgically implanted in the lower back area near the spine where pain originates from. It sends electrical impulses to block pain signals from traveling up to the brain.

The benefits are seen within minutes after placement so it’s important for patients who have been unsuccessful conservatively through physical therapy methods before surgery may want an option besides just waiting around hoping things will get better

Why I got a spinal stimulator

After years of living with chronic pain and undergoing many surgeries, my pain management doctor talked to me about a spinal stimulator.

After my amputation, I had both chronic pain in my stump as well as horrible phantom pain. I had horrible pain in my foot and ankle that wasn’t even there anymore!

The spinal stimulator helped relieve my phantom pain and even some of the real pain in my stump. My life has improved since the operation and I feel like a new person most of the time.

 My experience with my spine stimulator

I had a trial the month before my surgery and WOW, what a difference! Imedietly after surgery I felt instant relief. No more shooting pain in my non-existant ankle or foot. Way less pain in my stump. I have a small IPhone that I use to turn the electrical impulses up or down. That way even on days that would normmally be bad, I can still get relief.

Now, it doesn’t take away all the pain but it cut it by more than half.  Also, it doesn’t cut pain in any other area than what it was hooked up to do.  I’ve had my stimulator for 3 months now and it works wonders.  Spinal stimulators can be life-changing for people living with chronic pain If you’re struggling with chronic pain, talk to your doctor about this treatment option

 The implantation process

The implementation process of a spine stimulator is not an easy one.

The pain and discomfort that I experienced as I went through the trial and then the main surgery was very demanding, but it does allow me to live my life without as many limitations or worries about what may happen in the future.

The first surgery involved me being awake while the Doctor put in the wires and then he taped the battery pack to me. The second surgery the battery pack was installed under my skin. The Doctor made a pocket in the muscle and the battery pack was placed there. There was discomfort from the surgery at the insision site but not at my stump which was a huge relief.

 Side effects of the surgery and device

Side effects of the spinal stimulator surgery and device are usually short-term. Of course, there’s no way for anyone  to know whether they’re going experience any side effect or not until after surgery has occurred but if everything goes well then most patients should be able to resume their normal activities without too much difficulty within one week following surgery date.
