Hi Folks,
I have an ongoing neuropathy of the ilioinguinal, hypogastric and genitofemoral nerves. Very painful and very limiting. Over the course of the past 5yrs I've tried every conservative and surgical option available.
From neuropathics, to opioids, to radio frequency ablation and culminating in a denervation microsurgery a few months ago that has unfortunately had very little effect.
A possible option floated by my urologist is an implanted spinal stimulator at L1/T12. The hope would be that neuromodulation could improve my pain.
So I'm hoping someone here has had implant surgery and can let me know how it went for them? Particularly in the long term.
