Due to a delayed fusion Im using/wearing a bone growth stimulator for the spine 4 hours a day. I was told by the rep they dont make them for thoracic so I have made my own make shift ties to hold it up very high on my body so that it is helps in the areas I had surgery T-2 to T-11 or 12. I dont know exactly what areas of my thoracic are not fused though..No one will elaborate on that.
Hoping to hear from others who have had successful fusions after using it.And how long you wore it etc. I want the hardware removed at some point,so I really hope it works for me.
I have additional pain when I wear it, it stings in my thoracic area and some pain feels like maybe from just the weight of it on my surgery area. I already have alot of pain, so it just adds to it. Is it normal having pain when you wear it? rep said it should go away after a while, but mine doesnt.
