Hello @mickiecariveau, welcome to Connect. You may notice that I combined your new discussion with an existing discussion called, "Chronic Back Pain for Years." I did this because I wanted to introduce you to the other members on Connect already discussing what you explained. I suggest clicking on VIEW & REPLY so you can be brought to the full discussion and read through the other members' posts.

Here is a link to another discussion you also may find useful that is all about spinal cord stimulators, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anybody-had-an-implantable-neurostimulator-for-chronic-pain/.

@mickiecariveau, you mentioned a spinal cord stimulator, if you don't mind sharing, is it an implant stimulator that your doctor recommended?
