One thing that has actually helped the pain in my back and legs a lot is the implanting of a Neural Stimulator. It's a computer that is lodged inside of your back below the ribcage. It's smaller than a pack of cigarettes and doesn't stick out through the skin, there is no break in the skin anywhere. It's completely inside. It has a set of long leads that are sewn into your spinal cord and all of this is out of sight, no unsightly lumps or bumps and no bad scars. What it does is really simple.

You've heard the expression "WHITE NOISE." It's a level of noise that is used to drown out other noise. It's the same principle that the Boise Headphones work on that they use in Airplane Flights. You have a lot of loud noise that you can't hear over, it's so loud that it will damage your hearing. They put on a set of headphones that emit a particular noise level that counteracts that loud noise level and blankets it out. You can't hear it and it won't mess up your hearing. All you hear is soft music. The Neural Stimulator works the same way. It outs out a frequency level of "White Noise" into your Spinal Cord that blankets out the pain signal that is coming up from your lower back and legs. The pain is still there, you just can't feel it. Instead all I get is a tiny tingling sensation like the feeling you get when your legs have gone to sleep and are getting the sensation back only not so strong. I have four different settings with many different levels I can set it to to change the way it feels and where it puts it force. It really helps me a lot.

If you're interested talk to your Pain Management specialist or to a good Neurologist about it. It does a lot of good for me and the Dental tech that works with my Dentist has had it done. She was going to have to quit because her back was giving out on her and after having it done she was back as good as ever. I went from a wheel chair to riding roller coasters in less than a week. I gave my wheel chair away to someone that needed it. I use a cane just in case I have a balance problem but that's all.
