Hello @lobito and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Members such as @bernese53 and @ken82 have shared their experiences with lumbar fusions and may be able to share if they know anything about bone stimulators.
In the meantime, I found an article you may find to be of interest.

Do you have hesitancies with considering a bone stimulator or do you feel it is the next right step for you?

I’m all for anything that increases my bone density so I’m thrilled there is such a thing. I just wonder why it can’t be used just to stimulate bone growth for those of us with soft bones. Is it a next generation type of thing? Can they make it to do that?
