The 30% number does not surprise me. I have not heard anything good about that implant. I think you’re right to be cautious. ETA: Unfortunately, I think we’re seeing some very risky therapies being pushed now to treat pain. ---

Thank you so very much! I have one kid studying this kind of engineering, his twin is studying PT, and the oldest is going to pursue her doctorate. There are many pioneers in the field of pain and the brain. My own MS thesis had a focus in neuroscience. But no one understands chronic pain (I never did) until it happens to them. It is diabolical. Dante needs to add another circle…I have a list of sinners who belong there, lol. —Fiona ---

Ahem, pjd, I shared some personal data to flesh out if anyone else out there might be sympathetic or even empathetic. I’m not looking for anything that is JUST pathetic. I’m just a little stitious. ---
