Have you had an implantable neurostimulator for chronic pain?

My one daughter has her bachelor's in nursing, and my other daughter is a medical researcher. The pain management dr, who has done many injections on me, has presented this as a last ditch effort. Three years ago a neurosurgeon performed a procedure, on my spine, and it didn't work. They are, at this point, very negative for any other procedure done on me.

I see. the SCS trial is not invasive. I've talked to 3 people who had the Abbott DRG SCS and they all got significant relief. One was a nurse and she said it really helped her. 90% relief from her foot pain. Two men said they got between 60 to 75% relief. They all had that done between 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. They all recommend I try it. Has any of your doctor's talked to you about a pain pump? That's probably the last treatment for chronic pain.
