My pain management doctor has suggested an implant along my spine. It would work like a tens unit, conducting electricity to stimulate my nerves. Instead of the constant pain in my legs and feet, I'd feel a tingle or vibration controlled by a remote I would carry with me. I am 36 and have a very aggressive and painful form of relapsing MS. (I haven't seen much remission) has anyone here heard of this or had this done? My neurologist says is against the surgery because she wants to watch the progression of the lesions in my spine with MRIs and there are metal components in the leads that would prevent future MRI's. My pain is bad. I take 3600mg of neurontin and 3 to 4 - 5mg lortab a day. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions? Thank you. Ps I'm new here.
