Chiari, So sorry to hear of your pain & suffering. I don't know much about brain or stem cell surgery. But, have had 4 major spinal sugery's. I have been in pain since the 1st one. The pain was difficult but I coped the first 15 years. Now, all I think about is pain. I have learned to keep my brain busy all the time & my body as much as I can push. It helps to keep the pain signal somewhat pushed to the back of my brain. I am also on medication now. It helps some, but no miracle. There are so many people like us who live in chronic, debilitating pain. I am a member of 2 pain communities. Feel free to contact me via email for addresses. They can help you locate help & everyone in the community is like us: living with dibilitating pain.
