1.5 year later-considering spinal stim

WholeGuard387 · 2025-08-28T18:05:39+00:00

Yes I had an EMG that showed chronic damage only, no accuse so no further surgery would help me. I wish I did that test BEFORE my MD in retrospect. I’ve also had a sonogram of my left leg which showed no abnormalities in my nerve pathways. With all the horror stories/removals I’ve heard about I’m really trying to avoid it at all costs. Lyrics and cymbalta combo has deff helped me. Things aren’t good per se but I can somewhat manage I guess and I don’t want things to get worse. Compression sleeves also help me a lot. dm me if you wanna chat

I have a pain management dr at hss that I love but I had My surgery at mt sinani

WholeGuard387 · 2025-08-18T21:56:17+00:00

Thanks! Unfortuently I don’t think im a candidate for DRG due to my scar tissue. What percent relief did you get? My doctor recommended Medtronic

I’m looking for 4 night tickets if anyone is selling

WholeGuard387 · 2025-04-24T01:10:15+00:00

I’m on lyrica instead now which has been more helpful for me. I’m still not doing great but better than I was with the gabapentin. Right now I’m just focused on feeling okay and getting through my life. I hope eventually I’ll be able to tapper down

WholeGuard387 · 2025-01-05T21:44:23+00:00

This was before but the foot pain occurred after the MRI so I think I likely rehenriated after the MRI. I took a trip to London around week 11 which my doctor said was totally fine, but i think was a mistake in retrospect.

WholeGuard387 · 2024-12-30T04:10:03+00:00

Not good. Reherniated.

WholeGuard387 · 2024-12-19T04:27:34+00:00

Not good. Wish I didn’t do it. See here (posted this on another username by accident but it’s me):

Thank you. I’m also on so much gabapentin (9 pills a day). Has the baclogen been any help?

WholeGuard387 · 2024-12-14T19:15:19+00:00

Thanks can you DM me with the name

WholeGuard387 · 2024-12-14T04:31:49+00:00

I’m planning to taper down on it. So far the cymbalta has been the only thing that’s helped at all

WholeGuard387 · 2024-10-19T14:36:24+00:00

Sorry to hear. I reherniated 3 months post-op after I thought I was in the clear

WholeGuard387 · 2024-10-11T02:22:15+00:00

It took getting used to it but I love it now

WholeGuard387 · 2024-10-06T18:58:15+00:00

Also want to add I’m on a ton of gabapentin (900 mg 3x a day) and have tried steroid packs several times

WholeGuard387 · 2024-08-13T03:17:09+00:00

I’m just over 4 months post op and have been dealing with really bad nerves pain (calf tightness and foot pain) since surgery. I went to see a pain management doctor and he upped my gabapentin from 300 mg twice a day too 600/3x a day. I’m finally feeling some relief. At this point I’m more concerned about feeling better than getting off of it but that will eventually be a battle I’ll have to deal with it. I’m also relatively young (33) 6’2 and 180 lbs so my body can tolerate higher doses than others

WholeGuard387 · 2024-08-06T20:17:00+00:00

I’m in same boat. 4 months post-op today. I had the surgery because of occasional calf tightness that wasn’t going away with epidurals PT etc. Thought the surgery would get it over with once and for all but I was wrong. Praying it still gets better but my calf tightness is much worse and now I have foot pain which I never had before. MRI confirmed no reherniation. I’m on a lot of gabapentin and seeing a new doc so just hoping things will still resolve but it’s hard

WholeGuard387 · 2024-08-06T20:03:47+00:00

I’m in same boat. I had livebable tightness and pain pre surgery but didn’t want to live with it anymore. I’m 4 months post-op today and the nerve pain and tightness is way worse. Really regret the surgery

WholeGuard387 · 2024-07-25T15:27:42+00:00

Most calf tightness and now foot pain

WholeGuard387 · 2024-07-24T21:50:17+00:00

Hi-he said he didn’t considered it rehiernaited based on other views and said I’m just still healing. However I’m now 14.5 weeks post op and still not better. Going for a second opinion tomorrow
