I have one from Medtronics and I love it for my low back. I’ve had it 6 yrs. I get bilateral cervical and thoracic nerves burned every 6 months as Medicare approves. There are other options now available. I am so happy with my pain management Dr. for listening and telling me options that may help. I drive 220 miles round trip to see them and it is well worth it to me. I still take hydrocodone for my upper back and hope to find a solution soon.

We cannot get real pain meds here; only tramadol, which does nothing for real pain. It bothers me that you still need the RX for back pain. Makes me wonder if I should follow through?
