1 single pack of 3 doubles is less than $3. That is 20 hrs of pain relief a day.
I know money is tight, prayers you get the device adjusted, but please take much prayer about doing the implant. If they can’t get it right as a trial one, they will not get it right as an implant. And you will be worse off.
They were able to get the device to affect the mid/low back by messing with the last 3 contacts at the T10/T11 level. They leads were more to the left than the right and so getting relief to the right hip was very hard...the “Paddles” that go in with the permanent device have contacts on both sides so they can set one to get the hip. I am going to try the permanent one. THey said if I don’t like it, if it fails to work right, they can take it out immediately before the scartissue gets bad. They will try to adjust the settings first and try to get the areas covered, but if that doesn’t work, it comes out. I will also still get pain meds for those times when nothing else works.
What happens if this doesn’t work and we try the pain pump and that doesn’t work? The doctor already said I am on the strongest med he gives. What do you do when your pain management doctor won’t manage your pain?
