Implantable neurostimulator for chronic pain

I trialed a scs device which is an electrical stimulator and it did not yield results for me but from what I understand it can help some and it is an excellent way to get pain relief without drugs. I am going to have the medtronic pain pump installed and hope that it will relieve my thoracic pain from a failed fusion and severe osteoporosis. I wish you the best and hope this can work for you. The trial is relatively painless. I had leads put into my spine and had to carry around a small device and spoke to someone regularly on the current levels.

I have a pain pump, have had it for 3 years. I am so glad that i finally decided to do it. I get much more relief from the pump than i did from pain medicine taken orally. Although i do have pain meds through the pump, it works more effectively than the pain meds taken orally. If you decide to get the pump, i wish you good luck and i hope it works for you.
