NEVRO SCS

[nevro1]

Hi,

I'm Rob and like all of you, suffered chronic pain...myself, for over four decades.

I attended St Thomas Hospital INPUT and took the residential course. I was accepted to have a Spinal Chord Stimulator implanted. I was asked to take part in the clinical trials for a new stimulator produced by NEVRO.

Now over eleven years later I am averaging 70% pain relief and earlier this year I attended Guys Hospital and had my first battery change.

Having been with this programme from the start I am happy to help if possible with any questions or worries you may have about this

Stay positive, you have come this far and the SCS will lessen your pain to hopefully a manageable level and your life can get back to a resemblance of normality.

Before the implant I was sceptical and thought I'd suffer the excruciating pain for the rest of my life.....take the leap of faith......it can't be worse.....only better.

Be Lucky.

Rob

Hi I am in the proceeds of going through to have a SCS not sure yet whether to continue. My problem is chronic nerve pain due to nerve damage after a total fusion. There are 2 types of SCS one for nerves and one for muscle, which one is yours please?

Hi Rob, I'm on the INPUT programme at St Thomas's too and awaiting the 'tech day'. I may well come to you with any queries and questions as I proceed through the programme. Thank you very much for the offer of support, I am so pleased that the SCS has been successful for you. This is my last option to try and relieve my horrific nerve pain and to start living a normal life again. Best wishes, Michelle.
