Re: spinal stimulator lead placement/Becky

[Guest guest]

My wires were into my back. They put this big, thick bandage over it so it

wouldn't move.

I'm sorry but I missed what kind of issue you have? In your head? I don't

understand. Try to sleep on your side.

I had to sleep on my left side because the dumb surgeon forgot what

I said and put the leads on the side of my back that I sleep on. I know it

doesn't seem like much, but I will pray your pain goes away.

I don't want to frighten you, but they gave me some pain meds at s Hopkins

in Baltimore where I had the surgery and I didn't need the pills. Remember too I

was already on 200MG ER Ultram and 90MG of Oxy per day.

Did you call your surgeon? Usually they follow up with you in the first 24

hours. I would definitely call your doctor/surgeon. Why do you have leads in

your head, migraines? I should go back and read your case but it's 4:30am.

Sorry I can't help. I wish I could. Don't discount prayer. Have everyone you

know pray for you. If you go to a church, call and put your name on the prayer

list. Get people praying for you!

wires going into my head are awful and it is hard to get comfortable. I can not

lay down to sleep without pressure on the wires. It seems like I have replaced

one pain for another.
