Hello @kekoski and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This chronic pain has to be upsetting, especially given how active you were. I found a previous discussion on hernia repair surgery with a couple of members such as @quark and @jobby99 who shared what could be helpful information about the root cause of their chronic pain. Take a read at the link below to see if you find it helpful to your situation regarding your pain.

With regard to pain stimulators, @lorirenee1 may be able to come in and share her experience with the exact same pain stimulator as the one you have mentioned.

When is your anticipated procedure for implant?
