I have been in severe pain for over 26 years from spinal nerves torn from my spinal chord. At 67 yrs old, I can no longer withstand a pain level of 9-10. I am researching on a dorsal nerve stimulator implant. Than you ,

I can't even imagine what that must be like, nerve pain is by far the hardest pain to get a handle on for me, I have a pain pump and along with the morphine there is also a numbing medication as well and this combination has made a big difference for me all the oral nerve pain medications were not successful. I had four Medtronic Spinal column stimulators and there were somewhat effective in limited areas, they lack broad coverage for me. Good luck.

Please post updates with the dorsal root ganglion stimulator. I’m considering one and also looking into a pain pump.
