I am wondering if anyone here has had experience with a Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy and could either share their experience and/or point me in the direction of some good reference material.
I have been having to go about every 6 months and repeat pulsed radio frequency nerve blocks to help manage my pain so I can stay "active". I went to my pain management doctor to schedule my next procedure and he suggested I try a Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy so I don't have to go for blocks every 6 months. He is a little concerned that I am in my 20's and have already had so many blocks. He wants me to find something that provides better/longer relief. I plan to stay on Simponi, but I would like to be able to cut back on pain meds if possible.
I have started doing some research, but haven't found much information regarding Spinal Cord Stimulation and arthritis. I plan to talk to my rhuemy before I make my final decision, but any information here would be appreciated.
Thanks!
