Anyone else have this condition? What do you find relieves the pain other than pain killers?
Any advice would be great

I don't know if this will work for you!I had a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted
years ago.At the time they didn't have rechargeable batterys.I just had my
battery changed to a rechareable one about two weeks ago.My other
battery had gone dead.It replaces pain waves with electrical waves.You have a separate voltage + or -.to increase or decrease the electrical waves.
It also helps with my Diabetic Neuropothy.I incuded the explainitary website,
because they can explain how it works,better than me.Look into it,I don't know if it works for your condition! Irish
