Pain Relief
I’m seeing the Consultant later today after numerous discussions he, reluctantly, said that
Spinal
Cord
Stimulation
“may” be available? I don’t know whether there’s anyone out there who has any advice on the way forward with trying to manage the pain?

My new pain specialist recommended having a
spinal
cord
stimulation
device implanted. I passed the pre-surgical evaluation and am meeting with the doc next week to discuss the trial. Has anyone had experience with SCS devices? I read some of the research results.

Possible Outcome of Severe Spinal Stenosis
The Consultant has now suggested possible
Spinal
Cord
Stimulation
. I’m very concerned as to whether this is the right path to go down. As anyone had experience of this? My overriding concern now is that I’m now getting permanent “tingling” in my legs!

Spinal Fusion at 9 weeks
This is my scar at the 9 week mark after spinal fusion of 7 vertebrae. There are 2 rods and 12 screws in my back to help stabilise my vertebrae after prostate cancer caused a compression fracture. I have discontinued most of the pain medication. I dropped to a 5 microgram Norspan patch yesterday after

lab work 8 weeks post iron infusion - advice?
I had an infusion of Injectafer 750 mg on April 29 and had labs drawn exactly 8 weeks later per advice or information on this lifeline :) Now I would truly appreciate hearing some fellow RLS sufferers thoughts and advice on iron infusion and medications. I’m currently still symptomatic but much improved

1. I attended my 1st PC in 2012 (Cambridge) following spinal decompression which was successful but I also had fibromyalgia. 2. Transferred to 2nd Peterborough PC due to travel problems. Sat through excruciatingly painful group sessions relating to the Biopsychosocial Model and Mindfulness. Course

Surgery Today!
I’m having spinal surgery today in my neck. So glad it’s finally happening but rather nervous too. I have cervical stenosis and myelopathy so I’m hoping this operation will stop the progression of spinal cord damage 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Has anyone else had this happen. Not sure if it’s RA related or not.

spinal cord stimulator side effects
I wanted to know has anyone experienced itching skin ( mine is on my shoulder blades) following having a spinal cord stimulator fitted. I had mine fitted in 2018 and for some years now both my shoulder blades itch nearly all the time and drive me crazy, there is no rash or sign of anything on the skin

iron lab results 10 weeks post iron infusion
I have had four iron infusions in the last 2 years. 10 weeks ago I received Injectafer 1000 mg with so-so results. I had seen a hematologist at my neurologist/Sleep specialist’s urging out of his concern for my out of whack lab numbers. The hematologist was not concerned. I gave my sleep, specialist

Heartened to know I am not alone in the struggles caused by pramipexole
I have had RLS and PLMD as long as I can remember. I’m sure all of those nights I struggled with symptoms as a child that were brushed off as growing pains…RLS. My mom suffers mildly. Unfortunately, both of my daughters also have many challenges that began as teens. What I’ve been through is so complex

Denosumab vs Bisphosphonates
Dear all, I will keep this brief so that I don't bore anyone! I am 55 yr female, and to my horror, fractured T12 out of the blue one morning two and a half years ago. Little did I think it was a fracture, so I walked and went to the gym for 4 days. This is with evolving neurological signs. Anyway,
