The name of the article reporting it is "Spinal Cord Stimulators for Chronic Pain Many Not Live Up to the Hype". Fingers crossed.
Thinking about it. Have you, by now? If yes, has it helped?
No no help .

Elevator Accident, at work... PAIN PAIN PAIN! I was in an accident at work... Who cares, they no longer allow other "excepted injuries" from 2000. 2002 Large Labral Teal, 2013 C-5 &C6 surgery. Since then... 5 more surgeries going down the spine... NOT excepted. Now L-5 is moving to the left over S-1, mostly effecting my left leg, with nerve zoomies down to my left foot. Left leg goes out, and I have broken so many bones, I know Every doctor and their family by name. My insurance (the best I can buy) is fighting with OWCP (Office of Workers Compensation).
NIGHTMARE. After being in a new situation, they have suggested a spinal chord stimulator. These used to be giant and bulky things..... Though now, they have gotten smaller.... the stories I USED to here put me off... though it seems like it has gotten better now... What do you all think... from Montana... In the largest hospital area in 4 States...
