In August 2017, I had a Nevro neurostimulator implanted in my back above the beltline because I had chronic, sometimes debilitating back pain for almost 30 years. In the mornings, I walked like I was somewhere in the middle of the evolutionary chart. I needed heat every morning and ice during the other parts of, the day as well as opioids. Coupled with chiropractic care to keep the last 5 bones in my back in alignment, I have ZERO pain. I charge the battery by induction and it takes about 20-30 minutes a day, usually while watching the TV or reading. Two months after the implant surgery I went on a golf trip with friends and played 3-18-hole rounds in 3 days, and I was pain free. I am due for an MRI (not for my back) on Monday and have been cleared to get one.
