For Douglas Weymouth, who suffered from peripheral neuropathy, the pain in his feet had become unbearable. What began as a tingling sensation developed into a loss of feeling and eventually a complete loss of movement in his legs.
 
Three years ago, he was confined to a wheelchair and unable to stand without falling. Douglas’ condition meant that damaged nerve cells were disrupting communication between his brain and the specific nerves that drive movement and his ability to feel things.
 
With the aid of his family, Douglas sought help from his primary care provider who referred him to Dr. Simon Faynzilberg and the Comprehensive Pain Center at Anna Jaques Hospital.
 
Dr. Faynzilberg worked with Douglas to fully diagnosis his condition and recommend treatment that would provide relief.
 
Douglas underwent a spinal cord stimulator trial procedure at Anna Jaques, followed by surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to insert a stimulator transmitter into his body which interrupts pain with a controllable electric pulse, wired to his spine. He’s now a pro at using an iPad to regulate these electrical pulses as needed.
 
Douglas is now walking comfortably and has been able to return to a much more normal lifestyle.
