Sacroiliac joint pain and my introduction

It seems as if all of us who suffer from SI joint dysfunction have been through the same (failed) “solutions.” injections, ablations, therapies. PT, and finally! Opioids. The latter is the ONLY relief I have had—-and now there is a war on opioids and doctors are scared to death to prescribe! I am so sick of it and am looking into spinal cord stimulators, of which, of course, there are many. Pain is just debilitating! Does anyone have any positive words for experience with SC stimulators?

@susanjd Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. May I ask what guidance your provider has given you regarding SC stimulators?

@susanjd You are looking to find people that have experience with spinal cord stimulators. Members like @bobby55 @wisco50 @bill54321 @susieparker @scruffy1 @drmario45 are discussing a similar topic and may be able to help answer your question.
