Well i'm at a loss again. After having a ruptured disc at
L5-S1 and having my 1st fusion in '07 (i had just turned
29yrs old), it failed within a couple months due to the
hardware loosening. I had a revision with an anterior and
posterior fusion with a lot more fun hardware that took.
the big problem i was left with was pain along with
sciatic nerve damage. Consequently, I opted for an ANS
neurostimulator which I had implanted a few months ago.
Yesterday I woke up with sharp pain at my lead site, and
today the pain has only gotten worse. After reading all
these horror stories of lead corrosion, I'm a little
worried. Anyone have any ideas?
