Spinal cord stimulator for RLS?
My pain doctor who is prescribing me my tramadol and Lyrica is considering a spinal cord stimulator as a possible way to control this. Does anybody know anything about using a spinal cord stimulator for RLS? I tried doing a search on here but nothing came up.

Reducing Pred after op
Am now just over three weeks post op for spinal surgery. I feel I could start a slow taper from my present 4mg to 3.5 but wonder if it would be unwise at present. Don't want to upset the applecart at this stage. I was given 2 x 25mg Hydrocortisone shots in theatre and apart from that carried on

EGPA/CSS with Thymoma
HI all, One of my early CTs soon after diagnosis of EGPA/Churg-Strauss Syndrome was of the chest, to look at lungs, as I also had breathing problems (asthma, pneumonia). The radiologist report included a finding of a mediastinal mass - it appeared to be encapsulated and wrapped around my thymus. Thymoma

Could this be anxiety ??
Hi, I am now at 4mg Pred and am having spinal surgery in three week's time on 12th November. For about the last two weeks I have been having a pulsating pain in the left side of my neck at intervals throughout the day each time lasting a couple of minutes but sometimes quite strong and disturbing

From GCA to Myasthenia Gravis
Had PMR since 2009 and treated for GCA from 2013 including negative TAB. Been on a pred roller coaster since with 3 or 4 episodes of double vision per year and pred up to 60 and then the long trip down only to go up again. In the first couple of years the high dose of pred resolved the double vision

Spinal cord stimulation process
I finally have an appointment to meet with a member of the Neuromodular team at SGH on Monday. I just wondered if anyone could advise me how long I will have to wait to have a trial if they assess me a suitable candidate?

Anyone on here had back surgery ?
The wheels came off my C25K journey about 10 weeks in as my long time bad back started to complain. As the last 12 months has been particularly problematic for the old spine ( it was bothering me before I started running) I decided to go back to Doc's to ask for an MRI..ended up paying for it to get

Everything is painful
I’m scheduled for surgery on my lower back. 360

. I’m also so depressed that I’m having trouble even writing this. I’m in extreme emotional pain. Just found out that my husband has been lying and probably cheating on me again. I feel hopeless and helpless.
