Hi,
Relative newbie to SCI after a fall from a mechanical bull in oct 2012. Injury is c5/6 Asia c. I have a question concerning my nerve pain as it seems to be a bit unique. Post injury I had no pain until after I had a baclofen pump placed in march of 2013. Since then my spasms are under control but my nerve pain has gotten progressively worse, especially in my feet. I have gone from participating in treadmill NRN sessions to now not being able to use a standing frame and needing to lay in bed roughly 14-16 hours a day because the burning is so horrific.
Im trying to research as much on my own as I continue to talk with my doctors. I realize this may just be a case of tough luck central pain but could there be something else at play here? It just seems weird that I had no pain until after my pump was placed. Could that surgery cause something like arachnoiditis?
Thank you for any input.
