Jim I meant to ask how is your implant working. This is what the the current doctor wants to do to me. Some sort of magnetic field or something like that.
Thanks
Tom

@da20pilot The stimulator worked well for the first year. Since then I have to get it calibrated every 3 months. I know it's still helping, but I also take morphine, imipramine, Meloxicam and acetaminophen for the pain. Most of the time I can manage the pain, but when I'm on my feet any length of time the pain goes up from its baseline of 2 to 6+. I'm having conversation with a stimulator specialist about changing to a dorsal root ganglion stimulator. I'm scheduled to get an adjustment on my scs on Monday, and 3 weeks later, after I can tell if the adjustment helped, I have an appointment with the specialist to see if there's anything else I can try before I get the drg implant.
