Overcoming Severe Neuropathic Pain After Amputation
When your child has endured cancer, multiple surgeries and years of severe pain, you become willing to try almost anything that might help.
That was the reality for one family who recently traveled to Scrambler Therapy NJ USA seeking relief from debilitating phantom limb syndrome and post-amputation nerve pain.
In a chronic pain support group, the patient’s mother shared their experience:
“My son had an external hemipelvectomy in 2021 from bone cancer and since then many spinal surgeries from broken rods. He always had extremely painful nerve pain in the flap area at the amputation site and debilitating phantom nerve pain.”
The pain was not occasional. It was constant and severe.
According to his mother, the symptoms became so overwhelming that he was forced to take multiple medical leaves from college.
“Last fall, he was unable to do anything besides lay in bed due to nerve pain.”
Like many patients living with phantom limb syndrome, the family pursued virtually every treatment option available. He was prescribed high-dose ketamine, medical marijuana, Lyrica, gabapentin and other medications in an effort to reduce the pain.
“We tried a spinal cord stimulator, TENS, all kinds of pain medication and nothing helped.”
Despite these interventions, his pain frequently remained at an intensity level that made normal daily activities impossible.
“We discovered Scrambler Therapy. It was truly life-changing and his pain is currently gone.”
For families battling chronic neuropathic pain, those words can feel almost impossible to believe. Yet for this young man, the improvement allowed him to reclaim parts of his life that had been placed on hold by years of suffering.
His mother was equally grateful for the care he received from Clinical Director Dr. Jason Cooney, DC.
“I highly recommend Dr. Jason Cooney in New Jersey. Dr. Cooney is extremely caring, listens and asks questions, is patient and incredibly kind.”
“He has truly given my son his life back and we couldn’t be happier with him and the results.”
For patients living with phantom limb syndrome, post-amputation nerve pain, CRPS, neuropathy and other chronic pain conditions, stories like this offer something many have not felt in years: hope.
“I urge anyone with nerve pain, neuropathy, CRPS, etc. to go to his website and learn about this Scrambler Therapy and go see him. He is very knowledgeable, kind and responsive with any questions.”
At Scrambler Therapy NJ USA, we are honored to be part of stories like this one and grateful to patients and families who share their experiences so that others may discover treatment options they may not have previously known existed.
