Oh yes!! It was a terrible thing, hot baths hot showers, nothing seemed to help, It comes and goes sometimes, but lately since I've been doing exercise I've been fine. |

I've had low back pain since I was in my early 20s. I tried every medical treatment short of surgery, because my problem is I know enough that the pain usually persists even after surgery. I now have a spinal cord stimulator, will be 4 years close to Christmas, and it has relieved 40 to 50% of my pain, sometimes 100%. It's implanted. |

I have back issues. Sweething I have had a spinal cord stimulator for a year now and it does nothing but make my life miserable. I even lost my job because of it. I am so glad that someone benefits from one. I won't have the fusion surgery.
sweething replied November 2, 2009 5:12 PM Sorry, but I just have to ask how the stimulator could cause you to lose your job? And what kind do you have? |

Oh yeah! I'm 29 with arthritis in my spine and degenerative disc disease. I'm too young for any kind of surgery. |

Yes I have lower back pain even with the fusion surgery I had several years ago. It seemed to help at first but has gotten worse.
judy makowski replied November 11, 2009 12:17 AM I to have lots of pain. My main back pain is in the upper thoracic. Righ between my shoulder blades. About 20 years ago I was working in a public school system with Willie M children. In case you don't have that designation in you schools they are emotionally challenged and can be violent. I wasn't told I had to have special physical training to know how to protect myself or control them nor was I told I couldn't be alone with them or take them any place by myself. Well I was taking them to the bathroom ( we had to go outside and around the building) and on of the students either kicked me or punched me, knocked me unconcious for I don't know how long and separated my rib from my spine. During a teacher workday it was decided by the powers that be it was my fault because I wasn't aware of these "rules".
