I'm c5-6 complete and many nights while lying in bed experience terrible pain in my lower extremities just as a foot amputee feels pain in his missing foot on occassions.  The pain is in the internal brain connections (the firing of dendrites) that used to be connected.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Implant box to stop pain

Hi All!
 
I have a friend who is a para, incomplete, who experiences alot of lower body pain.  His dr is talking about implanting some sort of box under his skin which would help ease the pain.  I didn't get the specifics.  Has anyone heard of such a thing?  Has anyone opted to have a surgery to "cut the spinal cord" to make the injury complete to stop pain?  I was thinking that years ago there was some discussion here on a surgery along those lines.
 
Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
 
Sharon
