I have had two spinal fusions. After the second surgery in 2017 I was still experiencing extreme lower back pain. My pain doctor thought a spinal cord stimulator was worth a try. I had it implanted in 2019. I never received any pain relief from it, in fact, I was have pain at the site of the battery. Just last month I had it removed. It very well could help others, it just didn’t help with my pain at all. Good luck!
