Bettie, please keep us posted on how it is going!! I have never heard of this and wouldn't it be wonderful if it keeps on working and our own insurances would cover it!! I, too, have been having much increased pain which is getting in the way of a good 'quality of life'!! It has been increasingly hard to sit, stand, walk, or even stand still without the pain and it has gotten much, much worse even with the same meds. That says to me they aren't working any longer and I do not want to take most of the heavy duty meds. So many of them are just bad news. Thank you for sharing with us and let us know how you are doing??

I am curious if anyone in our group has any experience with this operation and what kind of results you had. I did fairly well with the trial that reduced the pain by 70% (which was heaven). I have had TM for 14 years and the last 8 have been filled with so much pain that drugs hardly work anymore (plus the expense eats up all my social security every month), the pain is so great that IF I can walk it hurts so bad, I can't concentrate, it is a living hell. So please let me know your experience, both good and bad, so I know what I can expect. Five doc have told me to look for a pain relief of at least 85% if not greater.
