Good evening to everyone, I'm afraid to say my neuropathic pain is getting worse now, I can't take much more of this pain, I've tried my best, went to see a neurosurgen this week and he says that he will consider me for a spinal cord stimulator or a drug pump for my pain, why is it that no other so called consultant has never thought about this before now

    Sometimes doctors try the cheaper, less invasive options first.

    I just hope whatever happens the operation will work and take away this pain, made me so worried and depressed about my future, if I was a dog they would have put me down by now, I'm so scared about the operation

    Unrelenting pain is something that those that haven't experienced it cannot understand.

    I'm really pleased it looks like you've found a possible solution.

    Good luck.

    Please let us know how you get on.

    Thanks for the reply, Im so scared if the operation doesn't work what else can I do, this pain has totally wrecked my life, I might have to pay for the operation, that scares me even more, paying all the money for nothing maybe

    Does anyone have any experience of spinal cord stimulator operation and how it has helped them with their pain, will it help with the burning pain and the numbness and the cold I get all the time
