“I Wasn’t Living – I Was Surviving”

“Before my HFX implant I had so much pain in my legs that I was willing to have them amputated,” said Greg. “I wasn’t living – I was surviving.”

During that painful time, Greg spent 75% of the day in bed. “My wife had to dress me and I had to wear slip-on shoes,” Greg recalled. “I needed a cane to move around. I was cranky with my family. I was sure they didn’t want me around so I would just leave the room when the pain kicked in. I became a recluse.”

This existence was a huge contrast to his earlier life, when as a Gospel Music Hall of Fame musician Greg used to play 250 shows a year.

“It is amazing to have a life again!”

Greg had a series of four back surgeries beginning in 1999 but they did not relieve his agony and the final one left him with new nerve pain.

“Finally, I met Dr. Nandan Lad, who after treating me with spinal blocks and with traditional spinal cord stimulation that failed to relieve the pain, recommended HFX .”

“Since the March 2016 implant I have had 65% overall pain relief most days and sometimes it is as much as 75-80%. I am hiking, canoeing, working in the garden, working out and driving long distances,” said Greg. “It is amazing to have a life again!”
