In 2023, I had an Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator placed in the spine. A laminectomy was also performed.
In 2025, the SCS was removed for reasons. Interesting, the pain associated along the spine left side appeared to disappeared. The test is sitting for a duration of time, and we returned from Europe in May, where the lower spine didn't flare up, where I would take tramadol in the past, to keep the pain at bay.
I asked the GP about the absence of pain and the benefit of the laminectomy. He agreed that possibly the laminectomy could had severed the nerve, to allow relief.
