I actually got a spinal implant. I have a rare disorder where my brain sends pain throughout my body part is broken. I started with medication and nerve blockers, you need to get these first steps to show they don't work then they'll do a implant. 2 titanium s were put on my c2 vertabre. Then the put a small electromagnetic implant in my behind....lol.
Then I have an ipod then I control the pain with the ipod. It connects to they what looks like a pace maker. It is easy 2 use and it's nice to know that I control my pain.
I hope this helps even if one thing works...BUY THE BOOK!!! HOPE something helps. Feel free to write back...even if it's just for support!
