Vihaan Johnson, a 42-year-old construction foreman,...
Vihaan Johnson, a 42-year-old construction foreman, had been the primary provider for his family of five. A fall from scaffolding two years prior resulted in a complex lumbar spine fracture. Despite successful surgery, he developed chronic, debilitating neuropathic pain radiating down his left leg, described as constant burning and electric shocks. He could no longer work, play with his children, or sleep through the night, leading to depression and feelings of inadequacy. His orthopedic surgeon, after conservative measures failed, recommended a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial. Vihaan was apprehensive but desperate. The trial procedure involved placing thin wires near his spinal cord; when activated, the device replaced the pain sensation with a gentle tingling. The relief was immediate and profound. After a successful week-long trial, he received the permanent implant. In recovery, Vihaan's pain reduced by over 70%. He regained the ability to walk his kids to school, manage light household tasks, and sleep. Emotionally, he moved from a place of hopelessness and frustration to one of cautious optimism, reclaiming his role as a father and husband, though he still grieved the loss of his physically demanding career.
