I would like to hear more about the Medtronic implant.

We're still holding to a comfy -1º here in Denver. Snow on the way, however, but it doesn't sound like much.

Hi Ray,
About the implant, you have to find a Good Pain Management Doctor. Research.
I have the implant for many years and it works.
Same day surgery, Explain in lay terms.
A battery in implanted side of stomach area, than a Catheter is implanted from the battery up the spine. You are given a small remote device called a Bolus that you put over the battery that will start the Stimulater , in a short time you will feel relief from the spine pain. Medtronic is a good Company. I hope this helps.
N.W. N.J. only 1 heavy snow fall 12 in. We never get to 1 degree!
Stay Warm

the Stimulater, in a short time you feel relief from spine pain.
