Good morning everyone, my Dr is advising me to do the trial. I have so many questions, that the Dr just looks @ me with a blank stare. If anyone has advice both good or bad. Iam a 43yr old female. I have had a 3disc spinal fusion when i was 25, of my lumbar. since then i have had to have both SI joints fused as well. My thoracic is shot. I have spinal stenosis, arthritis, bulging disc. I have tried the nerve cauterization with no success. The Dr does not know where to begin with me so he has suggested the implant. He claims it will only help with the pain in the thoracic, not the pain i suffer of the lumbar.

my question 1-is the implant painful 2- is it a inconvience 3- sex is a big one 4- exercise etc
