I'm new to the site and the conversation. I had my spine stimulator removed just two weeks ago after three years of adjusting and working with my pain management doctor. The trial gave me some relief, so we progressed with the hope to achieve more. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. The stimulator was attempted after having minimal relief from injections and ablations became ineffective. Hopefully the stimulator will work better for others. I had no issues with the device itself. It just didn't work for me.
