Hi troll
The releif I get the spinal cord implant is like nothing elese. Its almost impossible to get the coverage to the lower back so therefore, still the pain management with that, but as far as the pain that was radiating into my legs and feet was 100% gone until I started having some hardware trouble that my surgeon is not too sure about until he does the surgery, finds out if a lead has come lose or if I need new hardware all together, that is rare for this problem to occur, but before that started happening ive had this implant for about 7 months now, and I can tell you that It has been great for the legs and feet. It works with a wireless remote on the outside of the body (which you never want to lose) that turns it on/off and power up/down. The way I can describe it is kind of like if you have ever had a pedicure and you sit int the massaging chair they have while they are doing your pedicure, thats what the inside of your legs and feet feel like/ a constant vibrating massage : ) Its very weird at first to get used to that feeling, but I go about my business with it on sometimes and totally forget its there. If you are a cadidate, because at the Emory Spine Center in Atlanta, they make you go thru a 5 day trial where its half in the body and half out to make sure its a feeling you can live it... then I say do it. I think it has been worth it. I would be next to not being able to walk if I didnt have it.
