It’s the chances we take for relief and sometimes we aren’t that lucky. I am sorry you’re not having success with your implant device. Having worked in healthcare my entire life I believe in the least the better. When we are in pain and are offered some glimmer of hope we jump. Since my hardware is pretty old considering I don’t think anyone could get to my L4-L5-S1 area to place wires due to my bars and I’d have to be in a whole lot more discomfort too. I did just read the FDA approved another back pain relief system after successful clinical trials. Sorry I don’t recall the name. Good luck with your journey toward pain relief.
