What are your remedies for managing chronic pain from sitting?

For me, it has been my Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS0. ( have had it for 3 years and I no longer have pain in my lumbar area. I receive injections in the other areas: thorax, cervical. I go to a pain management specialist.
Hope this will help you.
PS; Do your research on the brands ofSCS. DO NOT bequick to accept the one the pain management specialist recommends to you. If, after your research, you find an SCS that you like and happens to be the same thatwas recommended to you;; only then accept his/her recommendation. God bless you. brotherchuckles80

@brotherchuckles80 Definitely want to research stimulators i just had the Boston Scientific put in about a month ago. It worked EXCELLENT the first 4 days then after 1-1/2 years of misery from a failed back surgery I was 95% pain free and bent to pick something up and moved the leads, now I'm waiting to get to meet another Neurosurgeon to put the paddles in. I'm still on Duloxetine, Hydrocodone, Gabapentin, I've stopped Naproxen until at least i have the replacement surgery. since most of my pain is the Sacrum, I've been putting a Salon Pas patch on also. All because a L5 screw came loose and 6 surgeons have said leave it alone

Hey BC, - Archie— saw your post about SCS research. I’m about to get anSCS next week is the trial. My PM insists that Boston Scientific is the best brand. Can you be specific about what criteria you used for picking an SCS? Many thanks, Archie
