I hope this finds you having a less painful day. I have become intrigued by all that I've read here about PNS. It sounds like a possible good solution for someone like me who has trouble with drug side-effects and interactions
However, I have 4 vertebrae fused in my neck. I wonder if that could be a problem with the titanium used in the fusion. Does anyone have an answer? I seem to remember something about this but am having great problems thinking right now due to an increase in meds!
Thanks for any help you can give me and take care,
Hi Bels,
You might try to contact St. Jude’s medical supply, who manufactures on of the stims. They may be able to tell you if there are any contra indications.
Would you want the PNS for TN? Mine works very well, and the wires do not go anywhere near my spine or cervical vertebrae, so hopefully you won’t have to worry about that.
Best of luck!
Christine
Thank you so much for the information! I will check it out today. I'm prepping for my next appt with my neurologist and I want to go prepared with some options for my increased pain.
Thanks again,
Bels
