Janice, I didn't realize that you have an implant for pain. 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?

Pat, I have been going to a pain management doc for 4 years and they have helped me tremendously with pain. 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.
