The gal that wrote the articles talks about some of the side effects her friend(s) have had with it.
But..if there is no other solution to the nerve pain from spinal injuries..anything would probably be welcomed.
Look up Bladder pace maker...I would NOT recommend it, as it is very invasive and scar or nerve tissue can grow over the probes and leave more pain. It is also being used for back pain.
When the side effects out weigh the illness it is NOT worth it.
Believe me I live with Fibromyalgia pain 24/7/365, and the back from Hades. C-3-7 nearly bone on bone, T-11-13 bone spurs, T 12 annul tear and herniated, L-2 annul tear, L-3-5 bulged, bone spurs, L-4-5 compression fracture. Osteo A and Osto P. Neurosurgeon won’t touch me, not only am I Medicare but Tricare Life...no money to be made, and they use the FMS as an excuse of not healing well.
I’ve had 2 surgeries this year, healed well from both. Won’t get into the first it was a nightmare of medical malpractice I can’t prove. 2nd one was a very major one and done well with great treatment.
I’m that 2-5% who are so sensitive to these newer drugs I dare not take them.
Whelcol..cholesterol...BIG horse pills supposed to take 6 per day, start with 1 and work up, by 3rd day gout pain, by day 5, I could barely walk..and this was SUPPOSED to be the most tolerated one! Then the idiot one time see cardiologist after typing in my entire list of bad reactions and health history issues a RX for Zetia...hits all 5 of my auto immunes for ‘common side effects” 2 pills later it is in the trash can.
This is used for both bladder and low back pain..but beware airports will be a nightmare to get through.
And do a LOT of googling before deciding to use this.
They tried to stick me with it...not thanks, I am not incontinent nor would it fix compression fracture or the bulges or spurs. Band
aid, a real expensive one at that. That could leave you in even MORE pain. And if one of the probes grows nerve tissue over it, it cannot be removed!
