Hola me e hemocionado al ver familia ❤ tan preciosa por muchossss años les deseo por bien de los q tenemos dolores un abrazo corazones. ;desde Gerona Cataluña España
Im 22 and I have been going through chronic back pain and Sciatica pain for over 2 1/2 years. I've gone through 2 surgeries. I'm at the point where a spinal stimulator is my final option to try and relieve my chronic pain(Manage pain) I've been doing as much research as possible to help stay positive and this outlook was very nice. Thanks for the Video! Positivity is key
Don't do it... there is little evidence that it works and they remove part of your vertebrae. My mom had it done and it is a nightmare. They don't tell you that you will never be able to have back adjustments or let any other doc ever touch you. The battery never works. She is in more pain than ever. She cries at how much she regrets it. It is a huge money maker and a huge scam.
Had this done today. Not a good experience. Only local anesthesia. I got through it. After I was bawling my eyes out in pain. It felt like they had left a burning knife in my arm. They only gave me motrin. I was PISSED! I wanted it taken out immediately! This better be worth it. Follow up : It didnt help and at one months time it was infected and had to be taken out.
Wow. Her story with pain. It’s the same with me. My wife knows by the look on my face. She knows the changes. I hope I get some relief… hopefully soon. 😢
Sprint was great for me, but it is only a trial and not a permanent device. I wish they had a permanent device. The bioness permanent device was not good for me.
@amytempel1137 to use the worthless pns for target practice. I had to have 2 tests to see if it would work both hurt like hell then they put it in and that hurt so much I lost it. It was a complete waste of money I hurt. Then I see people telling these fictitious stories and it pisses me off. Make sence?
@guysolis5843 I only found one lady who gave a honest review she has Italian name and damnit I can't remember it. It's is supposed to interrupt the nerve signal. It hurt to all hell 1st is a test 2nd for Medicare 3rd is when they put it in and by far the worst. Think of it like side effects meds used for the side effects. The docs like it cause it's non narcotics the feds love it. Mine was about $9k and I am going to shoot mine. I got a sprint pns. Cell phone battery and you are ground. Good luck hey ask for non Dr & Co. Referances like a patient. Me ? I hated mine

If you’re considering getting a spinal cord stimulator implanted, please read this: “Implanted Spinal Cord Stimulators for Pain Relief: Illustrating the FDA’s Dangerously Lax Oversight of High-Risk Implantable Medical Devices” Public Citizen, June 2020 Michael A. Carome, M.D. You have a right to make an informed decision based on ALL the available evidence, not just the manufacturer-funded studies. You should know that your physician may be receiving compensation from those manufacturers. You have a right to ask and to receive an honest answer. A. The procedure is NOT minimally invasive, no matter what they say; B. The devices are junk that burn, shock, and produce very serious infections and rejections from body. From 2004-2019 almost 1,000 people have died from associated effects of spinal cord stimulator surgery; C. Hundreds of people are paraplegic because the leads are placed in the extremely delicate epidural space; and while surgical techniques are improving, the surgeons haven’t figured out exactly why some people are still made paraplegic by the device and the surgery; D. Almost half of participants need re-operation from “lead migration”, shifting leads and dural puncture. Make sure you know the risks.

There are factors that cannot be tested in trail; first is the leads in the trial really do not simulate exactly where they will be permanently. Many of us experienced great surprise in the significant difference; it took years of reprogramming (when I could GET a Nevro rep to actually meet with me to reprogram) to get even half the relief of the trial. Next is the lack of responsiveness of Nevro to perform requisite integrity checks on the stimulator prior to getting an MRI. I am suffering with level 8 to 10 pain for over a week which may indeed be a tumor or blood clot in my groin area. Nevro failed to respond to the hospital’s requests for over a week to come to do the impedance check. I finally used a mobile number that I had gotten for one of the reps when she texted me that she could not make an appointment. From there I finally got them to respond but - guess what - they do not work on weekends and would not come on Friday evening (to the hospital) to perform the check. I have spent hours in the ER getting IV pain management meds to help me but the pain goes back up to a level 8, 9, or 10 when the meds wear off. The doctor can do nothing else without that MRI. This device is coming out during my next surgery.
Having my procedure tomorrow, super hopefully it'll help. When you've been in pain for literally all your life(genetic condition) you learn to not get your hopes up, but this is one of the last things the docs are willing to do to help. So staying positive💪🤞
Hi, I have had the Nevro nerve stimulator in my back for chronic pain for 3 years, it has surgically been adjusted twice and replaced once during that time, it has proven to be a complete waste of time and has caused me more pain and anxiety, I have limited support from Nevro and no follow up, do not put your faith in this product because you will be disappointed. I continue to take copious amounts of drugs for my pain and have tried many doctors for relief, all they do is to prescribe more drugs. Save your money try something else.
@@ralphduarte6211 The Procedure itself went really well. It's just the recovery that was hard for me. I was very, very sore and in lots of pain from the surgery itself. Make sure you stay on top of the pain after your surgery. And you can't do any bending over for 6 weeks. You might consider getting yourself a gripper to pick things off the floor.
I have the stimulated and it has done nothing and fell and leads moved so now going to a pain center for this very curious why not surgery first? They made me do that first before they put in the stimulator in , I thought that was odd why put me through all that when it might have been better first with stimulator ,! My Surgan has destroyed my life pain went into my left Café and now it’s worse then before I need help?
This was very helpful. I'm having the nevro trial done next week/Tuesday. You're right, I'm gonna stop researching this because it is driving me crazy. The pain has got to stop. Thank you for doing this video. It was the video with the most information in the shortest amt. of time. Appreciate that!
I wish this worked for me. I had mine implanted 2 weeks ago and it did not help at all, and caused extra discomfort in my leg and I had it removed early. From what I understand I am a rare isolated case because it does help most patients. It just did not help me and I am at my wits end and tired of being in pain my entire life
Thank you for sharing your experience. Fortunately, this is just one method to minimize pain, and it was not the best option for you. We encourage you to work with an interventional spine care/ pain specialist to find the best option for you. Don't give up. There are so many new treatment options being developed every day.
Is this a painful procedure ? They are trying to get me approved for this ! I broke my l1, sacrum and pelvis in August after I was Med flighted after my horse threw me I’m tired of the Dilaudid!
In the process... you remind me of myself. Learned to live with pain...after literally 20 surgeries...none cosmetic...PAIN... need more surgery on neck and back... but want to try this. I’m desperate. Gave up all drugs and alcohol...using MM. Hoping this works. Thanks for sharing.
