To zjandre - I had the trial for the neurostimulator made by St.<br />
Jude bec no epidurals helped and I cannot take meds (big side effect<br />
or no relief). This seemed like my last resort, so had the surgery to<br />
put in the wires and battery pack. I had psyced myself up that I<br />
finally would have the relief of my 8 - 9 back pain. I tried and tried<br />
to make it feel that the stimulation shocks were dulling my pain - for<br />
over a year I dealt with it where even after I shut it off at the high<br />
density, my body began to feel it for up to 10 hours shut off. My pain<br />
was still as bad, so finally relented to my 5th surgery and had it<br />
removed. It is no better than a bit stronger TENS unit which never<br />
worked for me either.<br />
