So, I saw my PM yesterday. What a disappointing visit.
She said that the orthopedic surgeon isn't interested in my case (he performed my cervical fusion). She also said that she presented my case to the medical board (?) and out of 200 physicians there were no answers or suggestions. Boy, did that bum me out.
Her three suggestions were to purchase a topical pain cream from a company called TPS. Has anyone tried or heard of this? Suggestion 2 was to have another steriod injection (I have had 2 with no relief). Suggestion 3 was to have a stimulator implanted. She started to say something about what I think was an ablation but then she stopped and went in another direction.
I have 5 thoracic ruptured discs.
I would like to hear from anyone who has tried any of these especially anyone who has thoracic issues.
Of course, I always like to hear from everyone else also.
