I’m glad your wife is getting pain relief. I wish I had positive things to say about Mayo pain clinic but I don’t. The orthopedic doc from Mayo referred me to their pain clinic for a pain stimulator. That clinic denied me from going there because I was a patient a few months ago at my local pain clinic. That’s fine it worked out anyways because I got a third opinion from another doc other than the Mayo doc and he told me that the pain stimulator will not work with my type of pain. Which two other doctors concurred this. He also said he thinks it’s the hardware causing all my pain. Good thing I got another opinion. I’m grateful now that the pain clinic denied me. Had they not I wouldn’t have explored another opinion of a doctor and got to the source of all my pain,

In response to @ collegeprof I decided to try the stimulator, and at first it seemed like it might work, but it doesn't help anymore. The trial works better then the implanted one. My cousin also agrees, I barely charge it, takes to long, they say charge it 20 mins a day, still to hard. I hope you find out the cause and get relief. Hugs too you both @charlie807

The Mayo Pain clinic 3 week program has to do with pain management. To my knowledge, their is no instrument nor medication involved. The object as I understand, is to mange your pain, and keep your pain to a minimum without the need for continued distress. Mayo and other hospitals may have injections and instruments for temporary pain relief, but the purpose of this program is long lasting relief . This program is intended for a large group of selected patients, and not one on one with a doctor for personal care for a specific reason. It is for all those who suffer with pain abnormalities for all sorts of various pain issues.
