Oh thank you, Lut. You give me hope!!! It has been 2 years, next month, since this round of pain began and it has gotten increasingly worse. My leads will be implanted in the vicinity of C5-C7, so a bit higher than yours. I am so anxious, Lut. I want it to work so badly. I think my situation is so much different than yours as i am able to do things. I just suffer for it afterward; like today when I just had to mow the grass. I can't seem to learn my limitations.
I got the website wrong, earlier. It is www.controlyourpain.com . That's where I read about post surgery recovery being 2 weeks. Here is what it said:
Post Operative. During the two weeks following surgery, it is important to use extreme care so that appropriate healing will secure the implanted components and close the surgical incisions:
Do not lift objects of more than five pounds.
Do not engage in rigorous physical activity such as twisting, bending, or climbing.
If new leads were implanted, do not raise your arms above your head.
We'll see what happens. If you want to, send me a private message or email with your information. I can email or call you with an update after the procedure. I am nervous and excited at the same time.
Thanks again, Lut.
Logan
