HI. I am 79 years old and have had 3 back surgeries. I have chronic pain. I had scoliosis so they did a fusion of L3-4-5. I guess it is straighter now but it always hurts. And I guess that resulted in the neuropathy. That is more bothersome than the back pain. Would like to hear from others who are experiencing the same type of problems and what they do about it. I am scheduled to have a Stimwave spinal stimulator implanted. I am really worried about whether that will help or make things worse. Thanks for any help anyone has. pat79
