I'm 58 years old and in the last 8 years have had 3 spinal surgeries and I'm now in constant pain despite the huge amount of medication I'm on. I have14 titanium screws 2 rods and 2 cages around the whole works. I'm fed up with the amount of medication I have to take and wonder just what the long term affects are going to be and just how much worse my condition is going to get. I've been researching the possibilities of pain relief implants but can't find much in the way of information to whether it's available in this country. So if anybody that reads this can help me or knows of somebody that has had this treatment I would love to hear about it. Many thanks.
