Janice, Would you ask your Dr. if he would be willing to call Dr. Sabit in Lapeer, Michigan...810-667-7318 and tell him what he did for you? I'm not sure which would work better for me, the medication or the magnets. I have a feeling that the medicine is better for me. Love, Jude In a message dated 1/19/2013 1:34:59 P.M.

Yes, I research it. The doc explained to me that with the injections that I needed for pain relief that at some point it would quit working for me. Your body gets used to it. This way, I don’t take extra meds for pain relief, plus it makes my legs feel much stronger. My doc has been one of the forerunners with this procedure and has taught other doc’s in other places. Don’t know how wide spread it is.

Did we discuss it? I don't remember. Anyway, why did you decide to have the magnets for pain management vs. the medication delivery from the pump? I wonder what the benefits are in having one over the other. When I brought it up to my Dr. she didn't even mention the magnets vs. the medication. Did you have a choice in the matter? Did you research the two before you had it done? Thanks, Jude, Michigan In a message dated 1/18/2013 11:48:47 P.M.

I have an implant in my hip/back area that is connected to my spine. I turn on the implant with a magnet that I touch where my implant is. It uses several - my choice - sensations to cover nerve pain from my back down to my ankles. It also gives my legs more strength to keep walking and they feel stronger too. I would not be walking nearly as much as I do without it.
