Hello and welcome, @carriestacey. I'm glad you have relief from your injection. Was it a diagnostic?

Here are discussions you may want to follow if you're interested in learning about nerve spinal stimulators:

Has anyone tried spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain? -

There are many conversations and a lot of information for you to learn from. May I ask what brought you to Connect? What type of chronic pain do you suffer from?

it’s a spinal chord stimulator SCS - outpatient surgery attaches 2 leads to the disk causing pain - in my case L4 & L5 - leads are attached to a stimulator about the size of a quarter that is implanted in your flank. There is a remote that is programmed to stimulate the area causing pain. The stimulation blocks the message that there is pain that goes to the brain ! It’s a miracle and has helped me considerably. go to Boston Scientific for lots more information.
