Oral pain meds and/or Narcotic pain medications are not available in NJ. A pain pump is normally only for cancer patients with intractable pain, especially if Morphine or another narcotic is used. The only option for pain relief presented to me was the Spinal Cord Stimulator for my lumbar spinal stenosis pain that has not responded to alternative treatments and therapies.

I hope others will comment on their experience with SCS.
I’m sorry for your dilemma, and wish you the best! I’m glad I don’t live in NJ, not in favor of government regulation that interferes with the doctor-patient relationships to that degree. There’s not a one size fits all approach to medical treatment.
