Thanks for responding and so sorry to hear about your continued pain issues. Since I made my post asking about people’s individual experiences, the spine specialist said that because of my Laminectomy and Spinal Fusion and related hardware in my back thar he would potentially not be able to place the leads where they needed to be.
Will just have to learn to live with it and accept that it is now part of my life.
Hope your situation improves !
Blessings,
Don

Yes, I too have had a Laminectomy & spinal fusion in L4-5. But I guess I was lucky that they were able to put the leads where they needed to go. Now if I could find something for my shoulders 😩 I'd be happy!! Unfortunately I have severe Osteoarthritis in most joints of my body. I do try to grin & bear it but it still hurts!! One thing that does help is I take a water aerobics class for arthritics. It is wonderful to be able to move around and in water your more better as it holds you up!!! I had done that for years which kept back in good shape until they closed the pool for 9 months due to Covid-19. That is when my back started hurting again!!! 😢 I try to keep moving as best I can and like you say what else can I do??? Good luck.
