<p>Just scheduled surgery for my second trial of the neurostimulator. If there are definite positive results, then we'll go ahead with the surgery for the permanent one. Nothing else has worked so far. If this neurostimulator works, it should relieve a lot of the pain down my legs. It's hard ro be optimistic about any pain relief anymore. Has anyone else had this stimulator put in their lower back?</p>

Hi @zjandre and @mntnlaural,

The discussion around chronic pain in this thread and other threads has grown to such a point that we, the community moderators, thought that it was time to open a new group dedicated to this topic.

Welcome to the new Chronic Pain group. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/pain/.
