I’m in more pain now than right after epic 2nd spinal fusion (pelvis to above shoulders 5 years ago). I’ve seen Ortho that did 2nd surgery at least 4 times, but nothing said except that anything above or below fusion is is under a lot of stress. Sigh…..pain, nonstop pain should not be ignored

Hi, I'm Pat, a 79 year old female. Back pain got bad in 2017. While trying to find the cause of that pain I lifted something to heavy and cause a herniated disk. That led to surgery to fix that, si joint fusion, and then disk fusion of L2-L4. The fusion was because of scoliosis that I was told was progressing too fast. Nothing has stopped the original pain I started out with. I am on hydrocodone and gababentin and muscle relaxers. I am now trying a Stimwave spinal cord stimulator. Not feeling great about it yet. Has anyone else had experience with any of these stimulators? @pat79
