In 2010, at the age of 21, Adrien Bocquet suffered a severe spinal injury during combat training in the Military. For two years, he was completely paralyzed and underwent numerous medications and treatment, but to no avail.
He has described the last decade as the worst years of his life and stated that he had reached a point where Bocquet wanted to end his life.
His pain was so intense that doctors did not know what to do. They dosed him with large amounts of Morphine, hoping to elevate the pain.
In an interview with Hautes-de-France, he said, “I was in therapeutic failure in terms of pain. Morphine, morphine, they didn’t know what to give me any more“.
However, Adrien started a new life after undergoing the triple spinal neurostimulator in 2021.
The successful surgery has brought the former military back on its feet again.
