HAS ANYONE WITH PD HAD SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR IMPLANTED FOR POSTURE CORRECTION,PAIN MODULATION AND MOTOR FUNCTION?
Hi,friends,this procedure might be relatively new. I have read that it is similarly to DBS,but it targets the spinal cord instead of the brain.I was wondering,if anyone had this procedure done,please share your experience. How effective is it?Is it safer ,compared to DBS? Thanks in advance.

First PSA rise in three years, watch for doubling time? Or look into scans?
My husband (age 71) was diagnosed in Feb 2017, PSA 275, gleason 8, There were several enlarged lymph nodes in the iliac chain, obturator, and largest in the para-aortic measuring 3.3 cm. Bone scan was clear. Pelvic radiation in 2017. After 3 months of ADT (eligard) his psa dropped to .008. After 18 months

Journey home
Yesterday I was in London with my daughter who was having a spinal fusion. I had started my day very early as you do to get her checked in-she went to Theatre lunchtime so it was a long morning. Waited 5 hrs for her to return-they had probs controlling her pain 😢 Left her at 8pm to try to miss rush

Living with Osteo
Hi, I have lived 30-odd years since my diagnosis and think I’ve been lucky in being able to avoid spinal fusion back then. Suddenly have developed crumbling jaw which means my teeth have started falling out!! My dentist has not mentioned anything about a connection but until I see her later this week

Early Retirement from Work.
Morning Everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome. It has taken 4 years to get to this point as I also have spinal degeneration in my neck and lower back which was clouding the symptoms of the fibromyalgia. I had a spinal fusion on C4 C5 & C6 C7 last August but

A stopgap measure to treat respiratory distress.
Repurposing a drug used for blood clots may help Covid-19 patients in danger of respiratory failure, researchers suggest.
Researchers at MIT and the University of Colorado at Denver have proposed a stopgap measure that they believe could help Covid-19 patients who are in acute respiratory distress

My back still ocassionally ached etc due to damaged discs but nothing unbearable. I have nerve damage from the herniation which affected the sensation in my lower leg, it is numb

Complex regional pain syndrome
Hi all! I’ve had CRPS for 12 years in my leg and managed to get it under control. However last April I had an operation for endometriosis and have now been told that I have CRPS inside.

Feraheme / new acceptable ferritin levels
However, what we would really like to know is the level of iron in the brain (which would take a brain biopsy or at least a
spinal
tap
) so all we can do is use the serum (blood) ferritin level as a surrogate for the levels that might occur in the brain.

Facet joint injection or not in North East Wales.
Good morning everyone, I hope you are all having a good day. I have a question, are there any people living in North East Wales who have fibromyalgia and have had facet joint radio ablation or spinal cord stimulator fitted for arthritis. I have been told by the pain team that I can't have either because
