Escape the birdcage
Its limiting living in a birdcage!!! But when you are injured, unable to work, need to rely on a system for money, you don't want to risk losing your only source of income. So you sit, gagged, locked up, don't attempt or try anything and that can be most damaging. How did I survive in the birdcage?

The way relief continued…
A few months into my implant and I felt like I was human again... my senses were back and it was incredible!! That thick pain fog was lifted and I could taste, smell, see, concentrate, focus, remember, listen, think, plan, dream, enjoy, laugh, read, oh what bliss!!!!

The way relief started
In my case, the procedure was much less complicated as I didn't need the leads to go through the spinal canal but rather along my sacrum and coccyx. There is a trial period in which the unit sits outside and is 'plugged in' via the leads that, yes, are sticking half out/half in your body. Look I know that might sound gruesome to some but please... we're talking about chronic pain here... it was NOTHING. A cinch... it worked, it's in now and giving me great pain relief.
