I agree that 3 oxy's is not enough to stop your pain. I would think twice about the stimulator. Ive had two different stimulator's in my back. Neither of the two provided any relief. They both irritated my spine to the point I thought I was going nuts. No reprogramming helped with the stimulators. My pain management Doctor does keep my meds up that it does not eliminate my pain, just dulls it.I sympathize with you. Your Doctor has left you with almost no options. I would seek a second opinion. Be careful. It may look like you are doctor shopping. Let the clinic know you want a second opinion on the stimulator. I hope you can find a physician that can help you.
