TR— do you have a long chopstick, or something similar? You can put some cream on the top few inches, and use that to reach your back. Give it some thought.

Praying that you have a successful surgery and relief from your pain.

Also...go to Amazon and order a lotion applicator. It’s a pad on the end of handle. It’ll help with getting the cream right you where you need it. I use mine to apply lotion to the winter dry skin on my back. It’s wonderful.

This post kind of blew my mind.

I am having a spinal stimulator implanted on January 27, 2014 in Erie, PA.

This procedure scares the hell out of me but I have been dealing with low back pain shooting done both legs to my toes since 2008 and have been taking vicodin (150 a month) and I really want off of these drugs.

I hope all works out for the both of us.

Keep me informed of your progress and I will let you know how well this works or doesn’t work.

Good luck trussell!

Lidocaine patches aren't a miracle drug but they do give some relief. You can cut them in half & get twice as much for the same price. Plus the directions say leave patch on 12 hrs, then leave off twelve hours. We cut them in half or fourths and moved them around so I never had one in the same place twice in a row.

I get nerve blocks every 3 months for my CRPS in both legs & feet. SCS was not a choice for me because I was told they lose their effectiveness after 2 yrs & become a source of pain. But that is with my condition. I know people who have them & are very happy.

I had a friend recently get a morphine pump implanted. She is still waiting to see if she did the right thing. She also had the issue of them not addressing her pain levels properly & was very, very frustrated.

You are on some pretty strong stuff, did they suggest the phentynol patch to you?

Prayers for reduced pain levels. It is tough having relief then slipping back down into the pain.

Prayers up for you, Trussell!

I have problems with my back as well and I can't imagine having that much in pain meds and it not doing much good at all.

I pray the surgery for your implant spine stimulator is quick and uneventful with much success!
