I am currently taking 150mg 3XD of Lyrica for pain and 20Mg 2XD of Baclofen for
spasms. The Baclofen is controlling the spasms but I still have alot of pain
even with the Lyrica. I also take Hydrocodone for really bad days. Even with
all of that my pain level is still bad.
My neurologist sent me to a pain management doctor and I went for my first
appointment today. The new doctor and I are considering trying a spinal
stmulator to control my pain. The plan is for a one week trial run before doing
anything permanent. This doctor has performed many of these applications but no
patient with TM. Therfore, he is going to do some research and check with his
colleagues before we do the trial installation. He asked me to do the same with
other people with TM. I told him about our TMIC List.
I am paralized from T-3/4 down with no movement or feeling below that
level. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with a similiar paralysis level
that has tried or is currently using a stimilator to control their pain. Any
one else's comments/recommendations are welcome as well. If this don't work I
am considering a morphine pump. Your comments are both welcomed and
appreciated...........Cody in Austin
