I can't even imagine how frustrated you must be. I know you are so ready to be up and moving around already, but in two weeks you will be getting some relief. Take care of yourself, and know that we are all with you every step of the way. ((((hugs))))

Hi Lut, I'm sorry I missed this thread before. I went through 2 months of pain and it was horrible, I can't imagine living with it as long as you have. It seems like european medicine is more ground breaking than here, I have never heard of that. I hope it helps you with the pain. {{hugs}}

I am so sorry that you are in such pain right now & pray that this next
surgery can give you some needed relief.

Lut, how I pray that this surgery will finally put an end to the terrible pain that you are in.

You are still in my prayers.

UPDATE on my surgery !

Surgery of Sept 5th is over. The doc said that bringing the elektrodes in my epidural space, was NOT painfull. All I would feel was a big pressure there.

%$*µé@ , no pain, he??? It was VERY painfull; I screamed out loud, and I hope they could here it in Tokio.... . It isn"t fair, is it! Why not tell people the truth?? What the doc also "forgat" to tell me, was that the surgery would take 2,5 hours, and that I had to lay on my tummy all the time

Oh well, the surgery was a succes! There is a white cord coming out of my back and this is connected with a portable neurostimulator.

The cord is really long, so I can carry around my "boxie" in a shoulder bag


On the second pic you can see a battery that is almost half empty. On top you can see how hich I turned on the frequense. I can also turn it of, by pushing that red button.

I may test this thingie during 1 month. When the doc and I decide it is okay to implant a defenite box, we must fill out an application. They also HAVE TO remove this box I have now.... . So the waiting period will be rather paiful... . I hope to get the final stimulator in December.
It looks like one of this
