I couldn\u2019t sit. I couldn\u2019t walk. My pain was normally a 7 out of 10, peaking at a 9\/10 three times a day and I had to lay down. Even then, my pain only went down to a 5\/10.<\/p>\n<p>One doctor recommended cortisone injections and I didn\u2019t want to do that because of my feelings about the risks. I stuck with physical therapy and it was painful, but it at least allowed me to function. After the StimRouter implant, I did continue physical therapy for other pain, but I didn\u2019t need therapy anymore for the specific location the StimRouter was treating. I also didn\u2019t need as much pain medication.<\/p>\n<p>The short surgery came with an easy recovery. Placing the patches on my skin over the implant and External Pulse Generator was easy. It\u2019s like getting a new watch where you just learn how to use it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Before the StimRouter, I was having a hard time sitting and walking. After the implant, there was an 80% to 90% increase in my mobility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, I don\u2019t need to wear the StimRouter every day. I use it for six hours every other day to control my pain. I was surprised as to how well the StimRouter worked. It was a life-saver. When you\u2019re an active person like I am and all of a sudden your body doesn\u2019t work and you\u2019re in constant pain, it\u2019s very tough. Now, I don\u2019t have pain anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Chronic pain does work against your psyche, to the point of depression, with not being able to move and being in constant pain. I\u2019m so mobile now and constantly busy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kaye | StimRouter Patient Testimonial\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nH1-eLzLiIk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","featured_patient_stories":[{"patient_story":{"ID":649,"post_author":"29","post_date":"2020-07-15 21:22:43","post_date_gmt":"2020-07-15 21:22:43","post_content":"","post_title":"Lenore\u2019s Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"lenores-story-post-surgery-knee-pain","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-01-06 08:22:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-01-06 15:22:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/stimrouter.pixelsmith.co\/?post_type=patient-story&#038;p=649","menu_order":0,"post_type":"patient-story","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"patient_story":{"ID":485,"post_author":"29","post_date":"2020-07-15 16:25:23","post_date_gmt":"2020-07-15 16:25:23","post_content":"","post_title":"Lucina's Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"lucinas-story-chronic-shoulder-pain-following-a-stroke","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-27 03:22:56","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-27 10:22:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/stimrouter.pixelsmith.co\/?post_type=patient-story&#038;p=485","menu_order":0,"post_type":"patient-story","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}}]},"taxonomies":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/patient-story\/472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/patient-story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/patient-story"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stimrouter.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
