Good luck with your stimulator! After having a failed back surgery and seeing a Mayo doctor I found out I have a screw loose from my lumbar fusion. I was recommended to get a stimulator instead of fixing the loose screw. So what stimulator has everyone tried and found successful for the lumbar . I also need neck surgery but was told by the doctor not to, does the lumbar stimulator also help with the neck.
I have an Abbott spinal cord stimulator called prodigy. I've had it now for approximately 3 years. It is placed in my lumbar and I am 100% relieve the pain. Not everyone gets 100% relief some get 50% of 60 some less. I pray that you'll get 100% like I have. As far as the neck goes from what I know there is a stimulator perhaps the same one that helps people that have neck pain. For me my pain management specialist has just given me injections or in a ablation. They seem to work. God bless you. Brother Chuckles80

@brotherchuckles80 Thanks for the info. ! I’m glad it helped you, if you don’t mind me asking what was your symptoms prior? How big is the controller , it’s bad enough having to wear sweatpants and carry my wallet and phone to be adding the hand held controller? I went ahead and called my surgeons office today I’m concerned with that loose screw what further damage could be done I don’t want to end up paralyzed or in diapers
