DR. WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THIS IMPLANT-IT IS LIKE A TENS UNIT,YOU HAVE 3 LEADS ANCHORED TO YOUR SPINE AND THOSE LEADS ARE ATTACHED TO A LITTLE GADGET ABOUT THE SIZE OF A ZIPPO LIGHTER THAT IS PLACED UNDER YOUR SKIN IN YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT HIP.THIS IS ALL DONE ON AN OUT PATIENT BASIS,AND IS NOT INVASIVE AT ALL.YOU HAVE A REMOTE THAT LETS YOU CONTROL THE STIMULATION.I'M NOW ONLY TAKING 1 PAIN PILL A DAY NOW SINCE I'VE HAD THIS DONE-COMPARED TO 4 AND 5 A DAY PRIOR TO SURGERY.CHECK INTO IT,IT IS SO WORTH IT.

Your doctor is quilty of "malpractice" and"medical neglect." This MUST be reported!! You really should file a complaint against him. He can "suggest" that your husband quit work; but he cannot "demand" that and subsequintly, with hold treatment and care because your husband does not "obey" him. 3. If your husband quits his job and he is carrying insurance, he will lose his insurance after 30 days (usually the time limit) and it will go to Cobra coverage, which is over $500 a month. And, it is time-limiting for coverage. 4. Consult an attorney ASAP regarding: A. the doctor wih holding treatment and care B. worker's comp vs. disability for this condition

Is he talking about a TENS unit, or something that is new and experimental. I sympathize with your husband on the job thing. Being 61 and trying to find a new job could be next to impossible. What type of lifting is he doing?
